Got pregnant @ year 3 in the university, decided to keep the pregnancy & stay with the guy but he was abusive and later on in the relationship after 6 years of being together. I got to read on narcissist, does not believe such people exist or let me say I’m not aware of them. Since I became knowledgeable about such, I decided to get myself busy by starting a business which later fold up & running into debts.
I Had to go in search of job so as to pay up the debts. I have been managing the work to care for myself because I’m not being taking care of financially& I decided to look for a better job to really upgrade myself because I’m in the relationship, but my career is not progressing at all. A graduate but earning a peanut because there’s no good connection to get a good job in Nigeria.
Another situation is my first child, there’s always a friction between the father and the child. The child is a stubborn type, and the father does not understand the method to train the child. He is always beating and abusive to him. I’m confused should I leave to another place with the child & leaving the other with him because he’s favorite or leave with both.
Just know that I’m not loved& cherished the way I’m meant to.
