US-based Ghanaian Adwoa Manfo has disclosed that her parents’ separation made her a bitter person, but she had to listen to her father\u2019s reasons for his absence after her mum died.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a chat on SVTV Africa with DJ Nyaami, Miss Manfo mentioned that their separation affected her. However, she had to let go of the pain and bitterness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were young when they had me. My grandfather flew my mother to London after I was born, and she came back years later. Girls are greatly affected when their fathers are absent. In a way, I was a bitter person, but I also wanted to understand why it happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sometimes, you need to let things go and forgive because he is my father. I\u2019m starting to have a good relationship with him. We don\u2019t talk often, but I do what I have to as a daughter, and he does the same,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Speaking on marriage, Miss Manfo mentioned that most people abroad do not marry for love. According to her, 70% of marriages in the US are to support each other and pay bills and rent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That is why many of us get a divorce because they don\u2019t go in for love. For me, I didn\u2019t want to give birth to different men, and living separately is expensive.\u201d<\/p>\n
