Dear Tete

I am a 29-year-old girl with so many dreams and aspiration­s. I want to travel the world and see the beautiful wonders of this world. I am about to complete my degree and trouble has began scratching my world. My mum and her friends have begun trying to set me into their plans. A suitable suitor has been found for me. This is ridiculous! I do not even like him. I do not want anyone to marry me at the same time I want my mother happy. Help, I am about to burst.

Tete Responds Communicat­ion. One word with the power to change situations. Use it. You can speak to your mum without appearing to be disrespect­ful or ungrateful. Tell her about the dreams and plans you have and hear her out. She is just a concerned mother. Sometimes, our darling guardians do not know when to stop because they love us all day every day. Speak truthfully, boldly and you will see how much you are loved.

Boyfriend threatenin­g to beat my brother

My boyfriend is a very aggressive character that even I myself fear him. He was not always violent. In fact, he was so kind and caring. A few months ago, my boyfriend joined some bad guys and then he changed. He no longer attends classes regularly and he now smokes pot. When I tried to dump him last month, he beat me up. My brother then beat him up and ever since, he says he wants to deal with my brother. I am scared for my family! Tete Responds

How can you be with a person that you are clearly afraid of? Is this love? If this is your idea of love then my dear I would like to see your descriptio­n of danger. Report him to the police. The police will help you sort out your issues. If need be you may have to seek out for a peace order. Be swift and smart!

I eat flesh at the graves

I am a woman aged 42 looking for assistance for my problem. For many years I have gone to spiritual people for deliveranc­e but up to now no one has done it. Every time I am told you are free I pretend to be free, but I know that I am still going to the graves to eat flesh. I do not want to pass this trait to my children when I die. Please help me. My husband does not know. My family believes I am free but the truth is I still curse and kill.

Tete Responds

Tell your family the truth so that they know what they are dealing with. When you realise that you are not delivered, why do you pretend to be healed? Perhaps, you secretly desire your midnight curse? Do you really want to be helped? Keep looking and you will find what you search for. That is all I can say.

All the Best
