KwabenaKwabena, a renowned Highlife Artiste has blamed mothers as the main cause of children’s bad relations with their fathers.
“I am a father, and how I feel within me about the children I have, and how I love them, I don’t think anyone hates their own children. If you find any man in any situation where he looks as if he doesn’t have a relationship with his children, or he is not around, mostly 90 per cent it is caused by the mothers,” he said.
Reflecting on his upbringing, the musician candidly admitted that his mother, at some point, realized her mistake in prioritizing her desires above fostering a healthy relationship between him and his father.
“At a point, they compete with the men to become the favourites. You are both parents, so why would you want to be their favourite? We all grew up not liking our fathers, it was until I grew up that I developed a relationship with my father. And women don’t see the impact of these things… My mum was guilty until she realized that she was wrong by wanting to get everything for herself.”
In an interview on Hitz FM, KwabenaKwabena said some mothers, in their desire to be the favoured parent, inadvertently create barriers between fathers and their children, disregarding the potential consequences.
From personal experience, KwabenaKwabena revealed that he, like many others, initially held negative sentiments towards his father until he matured and established a meaningful connection with him.
