Rescued single mother grateful for Children and...

From 3A

for four years. When she met him, she lived out of town with her mom, stepfather and her siblings, but travelled to the city for work.

“We start talking and he tell me instead of travelling back and forth how I could come and live by he. He say how he wouldn’t do me anything and for three months I stay in the house and he never trouble me. And then one day he come and ask for we to have a relationship and you know because of how nice he was and so, I say yes I would give it a try,” she shared.

At the time, the woman said, she was on birth control but after the man indicated he wanted a child she relented as she felt he was the one and it was a good time to start a family.

“But as soon as I get pregnant we start getting ups and downs. You know sometimes I would get relief from work late and he used to quarrel and say how I get man and all kinda thing. I try explaining to him what happening but he was not listening and we would start fighting and so. He used to come to my workplace and perform and you know I used to feel really shame and I just lef the work,” Jenny said.

She had taken the man to meet her mother who indicated that she did not believe the man was good for her, but Jenny said she told her mother she was old enough to choose for herself. She was then on bad terms with her mother and when she ended up on the streets she attempted to return to her mother’s home but was turned away.

“But now everything good between me and me mother and I happy with that,” she said.

Jenny said initially she did not want a second child and took steps to abort him but was not successful and then she decided to have him adopted. But months later no one adopted him and she decided to keep him.

“At first, I tell you it was hard because he look just like he father and it was hard for me to love him. But now I love he and me and he in the house,” she said.

She works for just about $70,000 and pays $12,000 for a one-bedroom house. “I get enough to pay the rent, pay daycare and buy food and so and still get to save a little,” she said.

And Jenny has plans for the future: “I have a lot of plans. I want my own house. I put in for land. I don’t want to live in rent house all the time. And I don’t want to work with people all the time I want to be my own boss, maybe get a little shop. I want to have me own house with my two children.”
