First class graduate dad's response
When her dad picked the call, she said he hissed, cut it and blocked her before she completed her rehearsed greeting.
The lady, who graduated at 19, shared a WhatsApp showing the unreplied message she sent him.
She expressed belief that someday she would fly to America and become someone of great influence. She prayed her dad would not get the "sadistic" hiss he gave her in future. In her words on TikTok:
"I guess I was never the problem.🤧
"I will still go to that America, that you think is the end of the world, and I’ll be a person of great influence, may they not hiss on you the saddistic way you hissed at me Sir. (Writing this with heavy tears in my eyes😭💔) posting this is the only way to let my sadness out."
Research on Child abandonment
According to "Is Rejection, Parental Abandonment or Neglect a Trigger for Higher Perceived Shame and Guilt in Adolescents?" by Marici, Marius, et al, a child who feels abandoned by their parents may struggle with unwanted feelings in the future. The research pointed out:
"The child who experiences abandonment feels unwanted, rejected by his or her own parents, and deals with feelings of worthlessness that cause shame."
It is no surprise that the first class graduate felt the way she did after her father rejected her reunion move.
Her father's hostile reaction to her gesture, hissing and then blocking her, showed some of the consequences of a separated family.
Many people showed her support by sending kind words. Some netizens questioned her for calling him and she replied:
"His Family members said I should, cause that was the excuse he gave them, that I’ve never reached out to."

Seek professional help for mental wellbeing - Psychologist advises
A child psychologist, Uzoamaka Nwachukwu, has weighed in on the emotional impact of abandonment on children, following the story of a first-class graduate who was rejected by her biological father after 17 years.

The mental health practitioner told Legit.ng:
