In the midst of a work suspension due to a fraud issue, a Ghanaian man who sought to find solace with his family was met with disrespect and betrayal.
During the three-month suspension, he endured a shift in treatment from his mother and siblings, who began treating him as a burden rather than a family member.
The man, who had supported his family since the age of 21, revealed that his relatives only seemed interested in him when he provided for them.
Despite having built a house for them and financing his sister’s diploma, he realised the extent of their conditional support during his time of need.
As he returned to work after being cleared of any wrongdoing, the man decided to conceal the truth from his family, opting to stay with a friend in Accra.
Faced with a newfound resentment and disappointment, he contemplates cutting ties with his family and starting afresh with a new family of his own.
In his emotional plea for advice, the Ghanaian man questions the morality of severing ties with his family and wonders if he should pursue a future without them, focusing on building a new family where he can be appreciated for more than just material support.
