Miss Paintsil’s Swimwear stated:

"I saw my stepmum hustle with my dad; she was the best thing that ever happened to us (my dad and me). She was a very peaceful woman, a woman of few words. She loved me like her own. I didn’t even know she wasn’t my biological mother until my dad started to maltreat her and sent her away. They were so much in love, and I wanted a marriage like theirs, but here we are now. You can’t be too careful. No one knows the future, and when you marry, just hope and pray for the best."

teefascouture opined:

"Awww, this lady, I have been seeing her on my FYP, and I really liked her way of dressing. I’m sorry this happened to you, and Alhamdulillah you’re okay now. Sending hugs."

MaryJanemadu commented:

"I’ll say this over and over again: A woman who hasn’t discovered her true identity won’t last in marriage. Stop letting society pressure you into something you're not ready for. Marriage is not an escape plan or a validation badge, it’s a responsibility. Know who you are before trying to be someone’s wife."
