She scammed me.


Hi Counselor Beezy,

Approximately a decade ago, fate led me to a woman at a friend's wedding, igniting a romantic relationship that soon bore the precious gift of a son. As the responsibilities of parenthood settled upon us, we navigated the ups and downs of life, striving to ensure a bright future for our children during this journey that the woman I had come to care for, expressed her desire to pursue higher education in nursing, a dream she had cherished since her days in Senior High School.

With a heart full of goodwill and support for her aspirations, I readily committed to aiding her financially in this pursuit. To facilitate her dreams, I provided her with 35,000 cedis, a sum intended to cover tuition, admission fees, educational materials, and other related expenses. I would periodically receive pictures of her clad in a nursing uniform, which reassured me of her progress in her studies.

The days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, during which Sarah continued to paint an idyllic picture of her life in Kumasi, seemingly thriving in her studies and excelling in her newfound purpose. However, as I attempted to surprise her with an unannounced visit to the school, I found myself descending into a spiral of disbelief and betrayal.

Upon my arrival at the purported nursing school in Kumasi, the reception was starkly different from what I had envisioned. Despite her assurances of being present and available, nobody within the institution recognized her, revealing the web of deception I had unwittingly fallen into. I stood there, dumbfounded, clutching onto the remnants of hope, praying that what lay before me was a cruel misunderstanding.

As my hopes crumbled, I reached out to her friends, hoping to salvage any semblance of truth from this ordeal. It was then that her close confidante reluctantly revealed the bitter truth. She was not studying to become a nurse; instead, she had deceived me, pursuing her personal ambitions at the expense of my trust and unwavering support.

Days turned into sleepless nights, haunted by the echoes of her deceit and grappling with the gravity of the betrayal. I began to unearth the extent of her treachery, discovering her intentions to flee the country and start afresh, leaving behind not only our relationship but also the shattered pieces of my heart.

A call from an unknown foreign number marked her attempt at an apology, confirming her deceit and lack of remorse. I stand at a crossroads, grappling with the emotional turmoil and a profound sense of betrayal. I seek your expert counsel on how to heal from this ordeal, rebuild my life, and forge ahead, ultimately ensuring a stable and nurturing environment for my son.

Thank you

Forgiving your partner

  How to forgive your partner for their infidelity Introduction If you're in a relationship with someone who has cheated on you, there are many ways to forgive them. You can do it privately or publicly, but the most important thing is that you talk about it. It's also important to remember that forgiveness takes time and effort on both sides of the equation. This doesn't happen overnight! However, once both partners have made amends for their actions (and recognized them as such), then forgiveness becomes easier because there aren't any lingering resentments or underlying bad feelings between them anymore. Only love between two people who took action towards healing themselves after a betrayal occurred.  Stop justifying their behaviour. To forgive your partner, you must stop justifying their behaviour. This means that you need to stop making excuses for them and blaming yourself or your relationship for their actions. Here are some examples of what not to do: Don't ...

Alchemy of Life: Transforming Negativity into Positive Energy

"He who has the power to turn all negative vibes in his path into positive energy has learned the meaning of life." The statement's wisdom highlights the significant shift when someone can change negative energy into a good force. Let's investigate this viewpoint and see how it fits in with the theories of scholars who have studied the nuances of personal empowerment and the meaning of life. Turning Negativity into Positivity "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." - Viktor Frankl. Transforming negativity is in line with the existential philosophy of Viktor Frankl. His focus on overcoming obstacles and deriving purpose from misfortune aligns with the notion that, in the face of negativity, one may modify one's inner reaction and transform one's life's course. The Art of Transformation "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be." - Lao Tzu. The transformational force that co...

After having three children with me out of wedlock, He is getting married to another woman.

Dear Counselor Beezy, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, seeking your guidance and support to help me navigate a deeply painful and confusing chapter in my life. My story begins with a romantic relationship that I entered into with a businessman. We met through his friend, who happened to be engaged to my madam, a seamstress I was apprenticing with at the time. We all came from the same district in the Upper West Region of Ghana, which initially created a sense of familiarity and connection. Our relationship developed swiftly, and within two months, I found myself pregnant. He agreed to take responsibility for our child, and I moved in with him despite his uncompleted three-bedroom apartment. We managed together until I went into labour. We had discussed the idea of formally approaching my family for marriage, and he had agreed that we would have our traditional wedding during our child's naming ceremony. However, when the time came, th...
