The story was shared by X user @LajaOriade, who said his friend was the man in question.

He mentioned how his friend’s reunion with his mother ended in tears.

The man stated that his friend who was abandoned as a baby was also rejected as an adult.

The tweet read:

“My friend searched for his mum for about 30 years after abandoning him with his dad as a baby. The day he met her, he came out of the house hiding his tears from me. She didn’t want him as a baby & still didn’t want him as an adult.”

In the comment, he added:

“I think my friend turned out dysfunctional cos his mother left, his father remarried, & the wife made his life hell until he left home finally in Junior secondary. We hear so much about those who eventually pull through but many abandoned children don’t.”

Reaction trails man’s reunion with mother

The man’s story stirred reactions among netizens, who shared their thoughts and advice.

TheTalk.NG compiled some of the reactions.

@UcheOnwuzo said:

“As a pastor, let me say this “Please, do not have kids outside marriage!” Everyday we deal with these things, and it’s heart-breaking. Stats show that people raised by both parents are more likely to last in marriage, with superior indices for good lifestyle factors.”

@BigDeeqDom said:

“It was actually very silly to search. Lol, like she isn’t searching for you, dear. She should be the one searching, not the other way around. I don’t really know why people do that or what they hope to achieve.”

@Adukegeorge said:

“People do not always tell the stories of the mother that left, but some of us lived through it.”

@vulcanstudionft said:

“That’s heartbreaking. Sometimes the people we hope to find love and acceptance from can be the ones who can’t give us what we need. Your friend is incredibly strong for going through that search, even if it didn’t end as he hoped.”
