Hello, I’d appreciate any advice. My single mother and I share a single room. I’m 19 years old, and money has always been an issue for my family. My mom is often short on cash. She is not employed. She used to perform indomie, but she no longer does. She has depleted all of her cash and profits. She now just ‘taxes’ men for money. Everyone in the neighbourhood knows who she is, and I’ve seen some males attempt to avoid us when we’re approaching. She’ll be flirting with them and asking for money. At the end of our road, there’s this wealthy household. A married couple with their children. He’ll be in his 40s, and whenever he drives by, he waves and occasionally offers my mother a Ghc50. My mother is attempting to push me towards the man since he once encouraged me to take care of myself and I am a decent girl.
I know he didn’t mean it negatively, but my mother was there and she said that guys can’t resist a young girl like me and that he can take care of us if I attempt to be his lover. My mother just told the man that he should take me out the final time. He merely grinned and drove away, saying nothing. I believe he is only being pleasant and has no such ambitions. I like how he is, but he is married, so I told my mother to stop doing that to me. I also know his wife, and I’m not interested in doing anything with a married man. My aunt previously informed me that my father was a married guy who became engaged to my mother and then denied me. I’ve never met him. They say he’s dead, but I don’t always trust them. It appears that my mother did not learn her lesson, and she is now pressuring me to do the same thing she did because she wants us to make money.
I finished SHS but haven’t learned a trade or anything. I recently received a mail from a married man. I know my mother gave him my phone number. He approached me and spoke about my future goals. He blocked me when I informed him I needed support to pursue my education or learn a trade. He no longer waves to us when he drives by. He doesn’t even roll down his glasses. Because of this, my mum has stopped talking to me. She claimed I ruined our opportunity. I desperately need some advice. My mum makes me feel as if I’ve done something wrong. I’m also puzzled as to why the man has blocked me and does not welcome us again. This has made me quite melancholy. Please tell me what I should do.
