A mother of two, Bridget, has shared her dilemma and how her boyfriend committed suicide out of frustration.
According to her, they stayed together for five years before his death and gave birth to Rebecca (4) and Japhter (2). Speaking on how he died, Bridget in a chat with SVTV Africa, indicated he used rat poison.
“He regretted it right after taking the poison, so he rushed to a neighbour for palm oil but the woman said she didn’t have any. Japhtar was just four months old when he died. I was living with his aunty because of the baby.
“He died on his way to his room. The only thing he told me was that he had no job so I told him to pray about it. That was all he told me,” Bridget said.
Currently, she lives in a kiosk at Kasoa with no bathroom. Moreover, the kiosk will be demolished soon.
“I’ve been warned about demolition because the kiosk is set up in a pathway. Currently, I sell charcoal. The children haven’t been to school yet,” she added.
Bridget stated that her boyfriend’s family members have not bothered about the children since his funeral.
