File photo of a worried woman
Dear GhanaWeb,
I’m a twenty-five-year-old woman who lives with her parents and a brother. My parents barely stay at home and give us attention. Eventually I grew fond of my brother.
I’m two years old than him, but he’s literally my best friend and who I confide in the most. He doesn’t have friends so he’s mostly in my room, having fun and other things.
As time went by, my brother and I got intimate and it ended in pregnancy. Honestly, we didn’t expect it to end the way it did, so I had to quickly terminate it.
Everything I did to terminate the pregnancy was futile. I took different medicines and bled a couple of times, but after about five months, I realised the pregnancy was still there.
It was too late to abort by then and I was falling sick in bits.
So, I had the baby, I didn’t have a choice. The child came out abnormal. His head is out of shape, his left leg is tinny while the other is growing fine.
He’s two years and can’t still walk.
I’m so sad. I cry everyday. My brother is living his life, takes no responsibility and pretends he doesn’t even know he’s the child’s father. Just because I can’t tell anyone the child is for my kid brother.
I want to get rid of him. Having him around is just pain. He is still a baby, no one loves him, I just keep hating him daily because he is abnormal and an incest child.
I’m always insulted by my parents for having a child like that and they don’t know my brother is even his father.
I know no one sent me to have an affair with my brother, but it has already happened.
I want really get rid of him. Will I be judged for doing that? What should I do now?
