Ephantus went on to state that his wife's strong attachment to her mother and living with them was a problem.
Ephantus said at some point Kawira was not ready to leave her mother to be a wife.
Despite this, he allowed the living arrangement something he regrets doing to date.
"My wife had a strong attachment with her mother noting that she was the breadwinner and the mother lived in her house.
The Bible says both shall leave their parents and they shall come together. Upon getting married she wasn't ready to move out without her mother.
From where I grew up, mothers-in-law do not live with their children in the same house of which there was a period I allowed it but the outcome wasn't good (story for another day).
The first two years were difficult for both of us having to counter pressures from family and friends."
Ephantus also shared how they unsuccessfully tried to conceive immediately after getting married.
"We tried to conceive with no results. I encouraged my wife we sought the help of a doctor.
I walked with her throughout the treatment and finally, God came through.
She conceived and sadly again, it was a blighted ovum. We had to terminate.
We prayed and trusted God as we were going on with treatment. God rewarded us with triplets.
I accompanied my wife to all her clinics and in the 32nd week, we were informed one baby had succumbed.
It was tragic for us but thank God for the doctors who saved my twins."
Ephantus explained that with no explanation, one day, he came home to an empty house.
"I kept my family in the very best a man can keep a woman. I provided for my family to a point of supporting the extended family as well but one evening from work I found an empty home," he said.
He added that after she left, he tried to see his children but he has no access to them something he said is taking a toll on him.
"I loved Joy with all my heart. I have engraved my kid's initials on my arm. I inflicted pain to heal the pain of missing my lovely children.
I have requested co-parenting she has declined. I tried to reach out, sent friends, and called her but my calls went unanswered.
For the past two years until the date she started doing rounds on social media, I did not know why my family left.
I am psychologically tortured, as she has kept our kids, whom I saw to growth almost 5 times a day at Mp Shah hospital when she was in the house recovering.
Rev Lilian Young, a family confidant can attest to this. Her accusations have damaged my reputation."
