Young Girl Says Mum Abandoned Her At 10 Years With 2-Day-Old Baby

• Solange took on motherly duties when she was only 10 after her mother abandoned her and her newborn sibling
• She took care of her two-day-old sister with difficulties, as she could not provide the necessities her sister Fillette needed
• Filleted hailed Solange not only as her blood-related sister but a mother as she took care of her when she was little

A girl has shared her sour relationship with her mother, which resulted in a challenging early childhood.

Raised by absentee mum

Solange said she did not receive the full rental care a little one longs for, as her mother was barely present in her life.

The young lady said her mother walked out on her when she was only 10, leaving her with a huge responsibility.

"My mother abandoned me after she had delivered my sister. My sister was two days old when our mum walked out on us. I was left alone to care for the poor and helpless baby," she told Afrimax English.

Giving crying baby water instead of milk

Caring for her young sister Fillette was heavy on her as she could barely care for herself at such an age.

Whenever Fillette would cry, since Solange had no milk, she would give her water, hoping things would get better.

"It was difficult for me as a kid raising another baby. During the nighttime, she could cry, and grandma would chase us out of the house, saying we were making noise," she added.

Seeking menial jobs to provide for sister

Solange tried to seek menial jobs, but because of her age, she could not be employed and had to look for other ways to make a living.

She shared that her mother would check up on them occasionally but would not help them in any way.

Fillette, who grew up to be a beautiful girl, said she considered Solange not her sister but a mother as she raised her.
