A Meru woman has expressed resentment towards her mother, saying she does not love her and would barely be affected by her death.
Speaking in a podcast on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, she recounted experiences she said had shaped their strained relationship.
“My dad is the love of my life. Actually, my dad is my first love,” she said, praising her father for supporting her throughout her illness.
She recalled being admitted to Doctor’s Plaza when she was ill and needed a blood transfusion. She claimed her father was willing to donate blood despite being in his sixties, while her mother said she was too old.
The woman alleged that her mother visited her only once during the hospital stay and did not bring food or fruit.
Claims of unequal treatment
She accused her mother of favouring some children over others and failing to show affection towards her and her sister’s children. She also recalled being told to leave home and go to her father when she was about 12 or 13.
“I hate that woman. In general, I don’t like that woman. Unajua ni vitu mingi,” she said, expressing resentment over what she described as years of mistreatment.
She further declared, “I don’t like my mum. I don’t love my mother. She never loved me. She never loved me and my dad and my sister.”
Asked how she would react if her mother died, she responded, “Hata akikufa of course nitalia kidogo, but the following day nitakuwa kama, ‘Oh, yeah.’”
Addressing her mother directly, she said, “Mum, you fed me, you clothed me, you took care of me. I never slept angry. But one thing, and hiyo it’s the main thing, you made me hate myself.”
She added, “I don’t love you, mum. I don’t love you. Na babangu venye unasemanga babangu alitupea uchawi ndio tumpende tusikupende.”
Determined to raise her daughter differently
The woman linked her childhood experiences to difficulties maintaining romantic relationships, saying the trauma had affected her ability to sustain them.
She said she wanted to give her daughter a new upbringing.
“I’m going to love that girl,” she said.
She praised her father for standing by her, saying she was willing to do anything he needed because of his support.
Her remarks have exposed the family rift, although the claims about her mother remain her account.
