The Cost Of A Divorce (A True Life Story)

In the heart of a small African village, there lived a woman named Adanna. She was known for her resilience, her unwavering love for her family, and her dedication to her husband, Kwame.

Adanna and Kwame had been married for fifteen years, and together they had built a life filled with love, laughter, and dreams for the future.

However, as time passed, cracks began to appear in their seemingly perfect union. Kwame, once a loving husband, became distant and indifferent towards Adanna and their children. He spent more time away from home, leaving Adanna to shoulder the responsibilities of raising their children and managing the household alone.

Despite her efforts to salvage their marriage, Adanna’s pleas for attention and affection fell on deaf ears. Kwame’s indifference turned into resentment, and soon, their home was filled with tension and sorrow.

Finally, unable to bear the loneliness and neglect any longer, Adanna made the difficult decision to divorce Kwame. It was a decision she never imagined she would have to make, but she knew it was the only way to preserve her dignity and protect her children from the toxic environment of their broken home.

The divorce was a devastating blow to Adanna. She lost not only her husband but also her sense of security and stability.

The once vibrant and happy household now echoed with the silence of loneliness and heartache.

As Adanna navigated the challenges of single motherhood, she faced judgment and criticism from her community. Divorce was still taboo in their traditional society, and Adanna bore the weight of shame and stigma like a heavy burden on her shoulders.

Although the court ordered her husband to give her some amount of money as child support monthly. But the money was never enough to take good care of the children.

Soon Adanna begins to regret her action, blaming herself for not having patience and acting foolishly.
She finally realised that the ‘cost of a divorce is higher than the divorce itself.
