No family is perfect. There will be a lot of misunderstanding here and there but that doesn't mean that you cannot work things out.

Some even go to the extent of cutting off communication with their families just because they were wronged and don't believe in forgiving others, but that's not a solution. You will carry that burden of guilt all the years of your life.

Olewa Na Kibabu!’ Nyota Ndogo’s Brother Attacks Her

Well, a city woman, who parted ways with her family (mother and sister) for several years, has written to Family Matters claiming that she cannot visit her dying mother. According to this woman, she had a bad relationship with her mother and sister and she is torn in between on whether to visit her and say goodbye or just ignore her.

Here is what she wrote;

"My sister texted me last night, that my mother is in a very bad state and will probably die soon. I didn't have a good relationship with either of them for years. Especially with my sister, and the only communication with my mom was texting in the last few years. I live in another town. I was never close to her.

My sister is urging me to go home and see her before she dies. I really don't want to go. I don't see any reason seeing her for the last time, I mean, it won't help her recover from cancer. It won't make it better for me either, storing a picture of her laying on the hospital bed, as my last memory of her. I don't believe in an afterlife. I'm not religious. I have very little feelings about anything. The only reason I can see in going home is to pretend that I'm not a cold-hearted bitch. Which I am. Also, I don't want to let my father down. Even though they divorced years ago, he still expects me to go and see my mother for the last time."

If you were in her shoes, what would you do?
