My two white husbands abandoned me with kids - Woman shares heartbreaking story in trending video

The mother of one was sleeping on the floor after leaving a toxic marriage early this year when she shared the photos.

Mwende revealed that she borrowed a friend's phone to take the photos, and after posting, the post went viral. Members of the group supported her, and some even offered to pay her rent.

"I was very depressed at that time. I used to pray that we (my child and I) would die in our sleep."

The 26-year-old mum narrated how people she hoped would support her deserted her in time of need. Her baby daddy, cousins and friends turned their backs on her.

Mwende said:

"In the eyes of many, he was providing, but he was emotionally unavailable, demeaned me. He was basically a narcissist."

She said she is still healing

Mwende, an orphan raised by a single mum, said she is working on creating a home where she can live with her younger sister in a children's home.

The heavily pregnant mother revealed that her husband walked out on her in August 2020 and continued to pay her rent, but in January this year, he told her he couldn't pay her rent anymore. She had no option but moved out and went to stay with a cousin in Thika, but after a few weeks, she was thrown out.

The soft-spoken mother said she was forced to start her own life, and luckily she was given a mattress by a friend and used to sleep on the floor.

Mwende said life has been good ever since she walked out of the toxic marriage, and she is at peace. She thanked Kenyans for helping her.

She said:

"Words cannot express how grateful I am to Kenyans. After posting the photos, some people said I was a con, but majority helped me."

She added:

"May their cups overflow. I am humbled. I never even thought I would ever use cooking gas in my life"

Another lady, another horrible story of rejection

In a viral video by Afrimax and shared on Instagram by Tunde Ednut, the woman said she met the first man who was a contract worker at a building site.

After his contract expired, he left for his country despite knowing she was already pregnant. According to the young lady, the only thing the Turkish man sent was the baby’s name.
