My sister is autistic and requires a lot of attention and care so it was decided that l would go with her instead.
A year after left, my sister attempted sui* ide but was discovered and rescued by neighbors. It later came tk light that she was been heavily bullied in school and she has been silent about it all these while but had finally taken the advice of one of the bullies who told her she would be better off de*d. Thus, she attempted taking her own life.It was a difficult time for our family, my parents withdrew her from the school, moved to another state all to protect her. I felt so sad that I couldn't be there for her but it wasn't my fault. I only had the chance to come home once in seven years. It took time but she was finally able to move on. I finished my education this year and decided to come back to Nigeria to spend some time with my family.
Everyone was excited to see me again. I came home last July. I met my boyfriend two years ago in London and he was Nigerian too but schooling abroad.
He said he
did come to Nigeria in September when he was done with some things. Last week, he came back and l decided to introduce him to my family and he came to our house to meet my family.
I met him at the door and led him into the sitting room. My parents welcomed him warmly and I went into the kitchen to continue helping my sister in cooking. When we were done, I went to set the dinning table while my sister cleaned the kitchen. She finally
finished and came out to join us at the table.
She came inside and as soon as she laid eyes on my boyfriend, she froze and looked like she did seen a ghost. We were all looking at her wondering what was wrong when she shouted angrily at my boyfriend. "What are you doing in my house?
Eh I'm asking what do you want from me?" He I looked genuinely
surprised and confused. And we all asked her what the matter was….
That was when she revealed something shocking. Apparently, my sister never identified her bullies. She refused to even step anywhere close to the school or mention the names of the students who were bullying her. The person who had had the bright idea of telling my sister to off herself was no other person than my own boyfriend. My sister had a big glow up and changed in a lot of ways which was why he didn’t recognized her. He went down on his knees and began apologizing to my sister and my parents.
He said he did tried coming to ask for forgiveness along with his parents when they heard what happened but by then, my family was long gone from the area and no one could give them my parents contact information.
My sister shouted that she would never forgive him and went upstairs.
My dad sent him out of our home and ordered me to end things with him immediately. He has been begging for forgiveness ever since….I have asked him to leave me alone and to give me and my family space.
I'm really conflicted. I love this guy and he seems very remorseful for what he did In the past.
My sister has refused to talk about it and my mother said she would cut all ties with me if l continue to see him.
He is my first everything, I can’t get him out of my head.
I don't know what to do next. Please I need advice.
He has begged me for audience severally to apologize to my family but they don't want to hear him out.
I will be in the comment section.
