Abel Mutua has discussed how growing up without a father figure affected his life. The content creator claims that his father abandoned his mother when he was still a young child.
In an interview with Presenter Ali, Mutua was frank about how growing up with a single mother and his father’s departure affected him.
The father of one claimed that he misbehaved at some point in his childhood and had bothersome tendencies as a result of not having a father figure in his life.
“Me growing up I passed through some phases at some point my biological dad left us so a father figure is very important in a family,
“So when my dad left I became a useless child, I put my mum through so much, and looking back all that misbehaving was because I lacked a father figure,” Mutua recalled.
As a result, Mutua revealed he is today heavily involved in his daughter’s life in order to prevent her from going through what he experienced.
“So I made the decision not to subject my kid to that coz for me God helped me to reform to get back, right now I can’t get it wrong with my child it would hurt me a lot if I let my child go through what I went through,” he said.
According to Mutua, lacking a father figure damaged his self-esteem and prevented him from speaking up and expressing himself.
Most of the time, when he is in such a scenario, he would behave badly just like any other child would.
“I will have to be there for this girl I want to be among the first people who know whenever anything happens to her. Coz if I don’t have a relationship with her then I don’t know what she is doing out there I don’t know who she is interacting with it’s very dangerous things start going south you are definitely the last person to know which is very wrong,” Abel said.
