My name is Sarah, and I come from Masaka, Uganda. For years, I believed I had a happy marriage and a loving family. My husband and I had dreams of raising children together and building a comfortable life. However, everything changed when he began blaming me for giving birth to girls instead of a boy.
After the birth of our second daughter, my husband started behaving differently. He repeatedly complained that he wanted a son to carry on his family name. At first, I thought he was simply expressing disappointment, but his comments gradually became more hurtful.
Whenever we discussed having another child, he insisted that I should give him a boy. I tried explaining that the sex of a baby is not something a woman can choose, but he refused to listen. His attitude made me feel unwanted and unappreciated.
The situation became worse when he started accusing me of failing him as a wife. He compared me with other women who had given birth to boys and made it seem as though having daughters was a personal failure on my part.
I continued taking care of our children and doing everything I could to keep the marriage together. I hoped that one day he would understand that our daughters deserved the same love and respect as any son.
Unfortunately, my efforts did not change his mind. After years of tension and arguments, my husband eventually abandoned me and our daughters. He left our home, saying that he wanted a woman who could give him a son.
His departure broke my heart. I was left raising my girls while dealing with the pain of rejection. What hurt me most was knowing that my children were being treated as though they were not good enough simply because they were girls.
For a long time, I struggled emotionally. I wondered how someone who had promised to love me could walk away from our family over something neither I nor our daughters could control.
During this difficult period, I shared my experience with a friend who told me about Magongo Doctors. She explained that they offer services and guidance to people facing relationship and family challenges.
I decided to contact Magongo Doctors and explain what had happened in my marriage. I told them how my husband had left me because I had given birth to girls and how the experience had affected my confidence and hopes for the future.
After listening to my story, Magongo Doctors cast what they described as a **love, family and new-beginnings spell**, which they said was intended to help me move beyond my painful experience and find a fresh start.
Some time later, I met another man who treated me with kindness and accepted my daughters. We developed a relationship, and eventually, we decided to start a family together.
When I became pregnant, I was excited but also anxious. I remembered how my previous marriage had fallen apart because my former husband wanted a boy. I hoped that whatever the outcome, my new partner would love our child unconditionally.
When the baby was born, we welcomed a healthy baby boy. I was overwhelmed with emotion. My new partner was also happy, but what mattered most to me was that he had supported me throughout the pregnancy and continued showing love to my daughters.
Meanwhile, my former husband had also moved on and started a relationship with another woman. I later learned that they had welcomed children together, but his new partner also gave birth to girls.
The situation left me reflecting on everything that had happened. My former husband had blamed me for something beyond my control, yet his new relationship did not give him the son he had wanted either.
For me, the experience was a reminder that a child’s value is never determined by whether the child is a boy or a girl. My daughters had always deserved love, respect and a father who appreciated them.
I was grateful to have found a partner who accepted me and my children without making the sex of a baby a condition for love. My life had taken a different direction, and I was looking forward to raising my children in a more supportive environment.
I encourage anyone facing rejection, family conflict, relationship struggles or painful experiences to remain hopeful and seek guidance according to their circumstances. Magongo Doctors listen to people facing different life challenges and provide guidance.
