A 19-year-old University student has written to popular counsellor David Papa Bondze-Mbir about an issue that’s is giving her sleepless nights.
According to the teenager, she really loves her parents deep down her heart but she’s ashamed of showing them off in public.
Her issue is one of many issue that most young university students go through when in school as many people are shy to show their parents because of their economic background.
Here is what she said;
“Hello, David. I am 19 years, and a University student. I am ashamed of my parents. I don’t know what they’ve done to me, but I just can’t seem to want them to be my parents. I want my friends’ parents to be my parents rather.
Anytime my mother comes to my school to visit me, I hide from her. I switch my phone off whenever my father is on campus to bring me money. I love them very much, but I don’t want them to be my parents in the open. I want them to remain my parents in the closet. I have tried to explain to them not to visit me or bring me money because I really don’t need money. I am doing okay all by myself, but they keep worrying and visiting uninvited.
Last week, my father came over and I think he realized I was intentionally hiding from him. He sent me a text saying that he was very disappointed in me for feeling ashamed of him and my mother. I feel bad right now, not because of the text, but because I couldn’t be bold enough to tell them to their faces.
