A Nigerian woman’s recent reaction is gaining widespread attention. Her father’s wife asked her to undergo a kidney transplant test. This request has sparked significant online discussion.
The woman, identified as @thekingdaughtta on X (formerly Twitter), revealed a painful past. Her father abandoned her at age five. He left to start a new family, maintaining minimal contact.
The Viral Post’s Details
Her viral tweet detailed a long struggle with abandonment. She eventually overcame this challenge. She built a life independently, without her father’s involvement.
Recently, her father’s current wife contacted her. She disclosed his urgent need for a kidney transplant. The wife suggested the daughter could be a suitable donor.
According to @thekingdaughtta, the father’s immediate family lacked compatible matches. Consequently, she faced numerous messages. These messages accused her of being selfish and heartless.
Her own mother advised reconsideration. She feared the daughter would feel guilt later if her father passed. The X user, however, feels no remorse.
The woman then shared the exact text of her tweet, sparking further discussion:
“My dad abandoned me and my mum when I was five. He left to start a new family and had little to no contact with me growing up. He never asked of me nor paid any bills. I struggled with abandonment for years. Eventually, I moved on. I built a life independently.
Recently, his wife called me. She said my father was very ill. He needed a kidney transplant. She told me that I might be the best match and begged me to get tested. Apparently his own family are not compatible. I refused. I owe him nothing after his past treatment. He chose to abandon my mother and me. I feel no duty to undergo major surgery for a stranger.
Since then, his family has deluged me with messages. They label me selfish and heartless. They claim I am letting him die from spite. They insist I must be the ‘bigger person.’ Even my mother thinks I should consider it. She says this not for him, but to prevent future guilt. I feel no guilt. I believe he faces the consequences of his actions. Yet, a part of me questions if I am too harsh. Being contacted at 28 to give an absent father my kidney isn’t what I bargained for. Should I reconsider?”
