June 21, (THEWILL)- Nollywood actress, Damilola Adegbite, has enjoined single mothers to let their kids have access to their dads.
In commemoration of the Father’s Day celebration on Sunday, the actress disclosed this on her Instagram account saying that single mothers should let the fathers of their children be involved in their children’s lives.
She wrote, “There are three categories of single mothers: The ones whose children’s fathers cannot be in their life (e.g dead, incarcerated, etc.); the ones whose children’s fathers have abandoned them or who do more harm than good being a part of their lives (e.g cases of domestic violence); and then lastly, the ones who intentionally keep their children/child away from their father because they are angry, bitter, hurt and vengeful.
“To ‘category 3′ mums, today is a good day to reassess the situation. There are many awesome fathers who genuinely crave to be in their children’s lives but are not allowed to by their moms. Trust me, I understand how you feel. Please soften your heart towards them and make decisions based on what’s best for your child.”
The actress also urged single mothers to allow their children’s fathers be involved in their lives as much as possible, saying that they won’t be babies forever.
She said, “You will not always be able to keep them separated from their father. May our children not grow up and blame us or despise us for depriving them of their fathers’ love.
“Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads. You are loved and appreciated.”
