"I cr!ed and told God, why is my own situation different? I have always wanted to be with him because we had two kids already. Sometimes you don't even know it's a mistake, and you will only realize it when it's over. I was one of the most cherished and admired teens back then. Growing up with my Dad in Nigeria, he advised me, 'You're beautiful and men would want you. I'm a man and a father—choose one man and be with him; it makes you responsible.' When I met Michael Boyd, I thought I had found him. We were in a long-term relationship. I gave birth to our first son, D'Marion Young, in 2007, and in 2011, I gave birth to Ayden Young with the hopes we could still be together. But he wasn't just ready—no responsibility, no concern. Everything began becoming clear: I wasn't the one for him. So I had to obtain full court custody since he never wanted to be in their lives, and I left. My kids are my strength, and I pray to any man or woman out there struggling with children or a child—may God strengthen you." – Adunni Ade
