I am the first son of my late father who died in 2009. I have been away from home since 2007. I was in Nigeria for the burial and came back to my base to continue with my education. Thank God I am through and planning coming back to Nigeria soon to spend time with my family.
My mother had me for my father while still in high school. He was already married then, and my mother being too young, there was no marriage plans between the two of them. I grew up with my maternal grandmother. When I got to high school, I had to look for my father. To be fair to my stepmother, she received and accorded me the respect as the first son. Even her children all gave me my place, including my elder sister, her first daughter. I love my stepmother as my mother.
When my father died, she cried bitterly. Deep in me, I decided I would be her joy and take care of her.
The issue now is: she is seeing a younger guy in my community and doing it openly. My siblings, especially my younger brother, have been really aggressive trying to put a stop to the relationship; almost fighting the young man. My elder sister’s husband and some family members have tried to talk to her about her bringing shame to the family as well as her decision to be bringing the boy to my father’s house.
She fights and categorises anybody who kicks against the affair as an enemy. This has prompted everyone to hands off the matter. They have put the burden of talking to her on me, since everyone knows that she sees me as her first son and her favourite. We are very close; she listens to me. To be fair, she can get involved with whosoever, but bringing her lover to the family house isn’t right. Besides, my siblings are against the whole affair because the guy is too young for her. Since I have never met him, I cannot give an opinion on that.
We have never had any misunderstanding before, but I am afraid this might cause trouble between us. Already, my uncles have slashed her monthly allowance, yet she continues to see the guy. This, in my opinion, means the relationship is more serious than many realise. Right now, they have all decided to wait for me to take action. If her own children, her siblings and uncles cannot stop her, how can I persuade her? She is in her 50s, and from what I gathered from my siblings, she practically takes care of this young guy. I guess that informed the decision to slash her monthly allowances. Please I need your advice on how to tackle this.
