“I May Never Forgive My Father For Abandoning Me” – Yvonne Nelson

YVONE MUM

Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson say she is not sure if she can ever forgivie her father for abandoning her.
The actress who had always said her father was never there for her and her mom raised her alone, added that talking to her dad was like talking to a stranger on the street.

Speaking with the Punch, the model and film producer said, “My mother raised me single-handedly and she means the world to me. I am the last child and I have three siblings. She saw me through school and till date, she calls and checks up on me on a regular basis because she is concerned about my welfare. She is like my friend and I even call her Charlie,” she added.

Speaking on her relationship with her dad, she said; “My dad was not a part of my life because he wasn’t there for me. So, I almost do not say anything about him because there is no relationship or love between us.

“My dad is like any other person out there because I didn’t have a chance to develop a relationship with him. We have each other’s phone numbers and he calls me when he feels like talking to me. It always feels like talking to a random person because there are absolutely no feelings whatsoever.”

When asked if she would ever forgive her father for not being there for her, Yvonne said, “Sometimes our society makes it hard for us to talk about things like this. But, it’s my story and I don’t have any other way to say it and I don’t want to sugar-coat it. I don’t know, I may never. He was never a part of my life and it is quiet unfortunate.

“We actually have an ‘okay’ relationship and it’s not like I won’t talk to him if I see him today; but it ends there because we do not have a relationship

    If he had any reason to abandon her, then she would also have a cogent reason to abandon him.

    You do not sow cassava and expect to reap cocoyam. Whatever a man sow, that shall he reap.

    Your mother may be lying

    I dont blame u dear, bt i blame ur mother who has been poisoning u abt ur father, bt take heart and reconcile with him, he is part of u.

  10. Christian Sunday

    I think you need prayers dear, do you no how many day’s and months your daddy played his role very well were your mum is to arrange you?….. without ur daddy ur no body… so forgive and forget . one love… A. G. N

  11. Its hard to forgive even when you know why thats doesn’t make her a idiot.

  12. When u were taughT from young age to hate ur fathee. Its hard to trust him. I know this from experience..

  13. Justin Muloshi

    You need to forgive because you also need to be forgiven

  14. She should forgive not for him but for her self. But everybody is different I didn’treally forgive mine til he died.

  15. Waiting concern us.mitww

  16. Beatrice Lukiya

    You can not claim to be a Christian when you don’t have a heart to forgive especially a man who brought you to this world. You are here now full grown up forgive and leave the judgement to God he will surely deal with him. He is your biological father and no any other but him.

  17. hear from your father first dear.

  18. I beg you, as the lord taught us, pls forgive him.

  19. Okija Ewe Obele Okijaeweobele

    You have to hear from your also before you conclude.

  20. its like in court if you have never been there to say your side there will always be one side….

  21. Emmanuel Minkah

    Find out gal.der re two Syd’s of everystory

  22. You just have to forgive him so that God will continue to bless you. I know without being told the pains your mother went through to bring you up.Take care of him

  23. Its very easy for people to say forgive him…..but there is the other shoe…the shoe that was in pain…of raising a child all by her self…..a girl growing up with no dad with the questions where is my dad…..she feels bad when other kids talk about their dads while she does not know anything about it…..Lets face it…..its hard to forgive when you are the one being wrongs…but easy to ask for forgiveness when you are the one on the wrong…….Its her right to carry the hate with her and heal in her own pace…..

  24. Okija Ewe Obele Okijaeweobele

    with what my wife and her mother did to me if im not alive to talk my own side story no one will believe me.

  25. 4give and forget is the best thing in life

  26. well we christians do many things that is Unchristian of us….we have broken all the 10 commandments from the time we got to know about then….and a biological father is never a dad he can be a sperm donor….who does nothing to raise the child.

  27. If he abandoned then he is not a dad…but a sperm donor…

  28. she grew up to be an amazing person even without her dad.

  29. Jenny U Ekanem

    Where u there??how did u kno!??

  30. Beatrice Lukiya

    And this is precisely what’s wrong with the society today with people like you because you think everyone does the same thing. Real Christians or any one from different religious beliefs preach love and forgiveness not hate like what you are doing right now Rosana Philda am sorry but I disagree with you.

  31. Christian Sunday

    nothing change because there must be reason for everything… but your daddy is your daddy….. he cloth your mum and also send You to church for dedication….. respect for him

  32. Christian Sunday

  43. Beatrice Lukiya

    Remember the Bible states that if you don’t forgive those who forsake you and so you shall not be forgiven in heaven.

  44. Stanley Chizaram Amaechi

    I feel your pain sis

  45. Elvis Chick Mbatu

    You should be so happy that you have a father.if i was you,i would have just gone and look for him now without wasting time

  47. Nana Opoku Agyemang Bernard

    @jenny, women!!!! Lol

  48. Rhodaline Amoako Asare

    If I want God to bless u then forgive him

  49. Roland Ropalia

    This is even the time u need to look for ur dad show him some love and tell him his mistake. U will see that he will go to his knees to beg for forgiveness. Maybe if he has not abandoned u and ur mom u wouldn’t have been who u are today. Something happened for something good to happen. So my dear Yvonne look for ur dad where ever he is and show him some love.

  50. Forgiveness is healing dear He’s still your father.

  51. Bishop Princewill

    What did you mother do to your father? Finds out first and stop saying thrash.

  52. Omokayode Isiaq

    Sorry dear. Is your mum tell you the true why ur father left here when u was a baby. So what ever your mum may be feeding you about your dadd you just have to fined a place in your heart to forgive your father. It may be difficulty to do but try to forgive and embrace your father. May the God Almighty Allah forgive us all Amen

  53. Theresa Tagoe-Gyeshie

    It’s up to u.

  54. Don Noble Ekenedilichukwu Nwachinemelu

    my dear when dey is no sin I tell you dey will no be forgiveness. ……forgive him no matter what and go on with your life

  55. Don Noble Ekenedilichukwu Nwachinemelu

    my dear when dey is no sin I tell you dey will no be forgiveness. ……forgive him no matter what and go on with your life

  56. I agree but as a child I didnt undstand that for awhile I even blamed myself. So I understand how this person feels I do forgive him for everything now that I know more than I did when I was younger.

  57. Wrong! If u don’t forgive your father in heaven may not forgive you,and there wouldn’t be place for you in heaven.

  58. George Gabriel

    Tnk u for dat bro… Ghana gals all dy lik is divorce n after d divorce d lady own d child n d man will b chased away… Com Ghana almost all d children dnt know who dia father is…… Dats dia culture…

  59. Ogundipe Kolade

    Lesson to all dad’s in d house, love yur kids and share yur life Wt dem always, childhood memories wl nva depart from children, if yu Like father 18 children,no crime in dt,my word still remain share an equal love and live in dre heart for ever

  60. U be capital mumu who pregnant ur mother

  61. no advice we are the same

  62. Emmanuel Jaiyeoba

    It was a pity. But you will need him when you are going to marry on your wedding day. Leave that problem alone with your daddy and mummy. No matter what, she is your daddy if he is still alive. Forgive him and move forward your life and God will help you through in Jesus name.

  63. A real man does nt break off his reltnshp with his kids no matter the circumstances btwn him n the mother, he does everything in his power 2 b thr 4 the kids, BT
    Nooo, wat he does is take care of ada man’s children n play a fatherly role 2 thm, bt wen seeing dat his kids r now grown n successful dats wen he cums bk with ur mother didn’t allow me 2 c u n she brainwashed u cos now he wants 2 reap wr he did nt sew

  64. Who r u to say u won’t forgive someone of his mistakes or wrongs against u, then I guess u PERFECT? cos God wouldn’t also bother forgiving u each time u err against someone…. Hmm SMH

  65. He knew you are heartless that’s why he left without regret #selfesteem #unforgivingspirit #anychildraisedbysingleparentmusthavecomma #brainwashed

  66. You needs his forgiveness while you can save yours for the future

  67. Prince Ikechukwu

    Bro u re right.Some Women do make a lot of mistakes

  68. Simpro Bushbon

    Hey# Beatrice Lukiya , you just talking of the Bible because you didn’t go through the pains of being neglected by your own father otherwise ,you would be the first to criticise those wicked men, I am talking out of experience.

  69. Nana Ama Oforiwa Opare

    beatrice gv us a brk. we are humams .n i supot yvonne. she must not fogv him. he cnt eat his cake n av it.its as simple as dat

  70. Anietie Jeremiah Effiong

    And one day you’ll answer to God for living that life of unforgiving.

  71. Nana Ama Oforiwa Opare

    christian gv us a brk. she wuny fogv him.its not by force

  72. Beatrice Lukiya

    Simpro Bushbon you don’t know me do you? I think if you wanted to know a bit about me you should have asked first may be my views lies on my personal experience too. Not every is a coward but we get taught to be cowards with those we are surrounded with.

  73. Christian Sunday

    blessing of father is very important…. but let the mother work towards it because she can’t do anything without the father…. I guess she still Miss him… to pregnant a woman is not a day job ooo

  74. Edwin U. Edwin

    Who care ?

  75. U dey try

  76. Beatrice my dear do you know what it means to grow up without the love of a father?

  77. Thaps Chiloane

    That’s unwarranted #unhumane

  78. Beatrice Lukiya

    There must be a reason why you felt the way you did when you were younger Victoria Oko but as for now since you’ve forgiven him don’t feel guilty no more it wasn’t your fault. Sometimes when parents split up the one in full custody of children teaches them how to hate the other parent or keeps talking ill of them in front of children, so the blame goes to both parents. Normally parents split up they supposed to remain friends for the sake of their children, but in our case things don’t turn out that way.

  79. Harry Emeka Okoye

    If you like send assassin to kill him! Useless girl. Shame on you to voice this out in the media. Maybe ur mum was caught f…cking another man and your dad left.

  80. Thaps Chiloane

    Shoo very rude

  81. Nana Ama Afrakoma-Todhunter

    I have forgiven mine but I don’t have any fatherly love for him … and I don’t even think I will shed tears when he’s dead except I will have to pretend lol

  82. Oyindamola Adigun

    But u still ve to forgive him. I know is nt easy BT u jt have to try.

  83. Well in my case they didn’t split my father just went back to Nigeria when I after I was born for family reasons and never came back. My mom never spoke ill of him. I live in the u.s.a. Never told my mom about my feelings.

  84. Thaps Chiloane

    Some single mothers actually raise powerful young women and men who contribute immensely back to their respective communities, nations and so on.

  85. Beatrice Lukiya

    If he never returned that’s equivalent to split and because you didn’t open up to your mum about your feelings, you almost made your self live in denial. May be if you did open up she could have made an effort to take you visit your Dad to have some father moments n perhaps talk about things.

  86. Have you questioned your mother why your father abandoned you and your mother?.Do not rush into conclusion which you will then regret.Get on the phone today and you may be shocked.

  87. For your information your father walk away to be alive today! Stop taking side and do your duty

  88. Matthew 18:21-22 KJV
    Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? [22] Jesus said unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

  89. Mash Mpolokang

    Forgive and forget,do not judge

  90. Titilayo Morenikeji

  91. I always wanted to but because I have a disability and was in and out of the hospital alot so I couldn’t and by the time I was healthy enough to go he died. He did write letters but thats not the same as being there in my opinion.
