MARRIED TO A FOREIGNER
Father of 2 boys and 1 girl, a lovely wife and mother but she was a foreigner. Like any country for a foreigner to get a job is a difficult task and even if one gets sometimes he or she is handle unfairly with trust issues, especially when he or she does not have residence permit. My wife countrymen are generally not trusted in my country and most cases brand fraudsters.

I work hard to put food on the table for my family and also do other aside jobs just make sure my kids gets good education and lack no basic necessity of life.

LIVING ON THE EDGE
For 6 years, I have been living on the edge... I never wanted to be in a long distance relationship but increasingly its seems that is the only option for me and my family... We have been living every month with hand to mouth... My financial situation was so bad I could not sustain my family going forward in my country as my kids school fees and living cost was way above my salary even though am gainfully employed.

DESPERATE!
At this point in my life i have run out of "steem" and desperate to survival. I have to start life from ground zero. Put things right because man was not growing younger, old age us catching up and all i could thing about what shelter do I leave for my kids.

RENT IS DUE
What even propel all this was my 2 year apartment rent was due and i needed to raise another 2 years payment and i simply did not have it. I was confused, dishearten and lost.

SEPARATION
My Wife and I talk through all our options, separating to different countries for a while to pursue work to raise enough funds to raise our kids...Cos increasingly working honestly in my country has become difficult and did not want to enter anything dishonest to get income.

NEW BEGINNING
Fast forward...to cut down on expense I move my family back to my wife's country and I move into a smaller uncompleted apartment and started life all over again. Each day I try to make progress for myself... Learning and developing my skill as a creative designer.
