The unknown fate

I've always heard this phrase, "a problem shared is half solved", but is this always true? Sometimes a problem shared with the wrong person is an avenue for the enemy to penetrate one's life. In our world today, we have many wolves in sheep's clothing. They are mostly the ones closer to us, we have them in the family, among our friends, colleagues, and coursemates. Recognising them is a challenging task, because they look innocent and are always there whenever we need help with their real intentions hidden till they complete whatever their task was in the life of any individual.

I am privileged to see or hear people's experiences about this topic. This particular story I was about to share happened to my parents. I came from a family where my parents are givers; this is one of the things I've learnt from them since childhood. My parents can give their last cash to a stranger believing God will supply their needs. These kind hearts of theirs led them to render help to the wrong person who paid them evil for their good.

The lady in question belongs to the same unit in church as my mum, which is the choir unit. At that time, she was the assistant choir mistress, and because my mom is so delighted in helping. She saw the trouble she was going through in her marital home at that time. She was unable to conceive due to a fibroid. Sometimes she's always bleeding in church, which makes her unable to sit because she's always conscious of whether she's stained or not. My mum decided to help by explaining her ordeal to my dad. My parents both agreed to help her financially for the fibroid surgery.

During this time when she needed help, she was an angel, always respecting my parents. She'll come to our house, where we'll cook for her. She looks so innocent and naive not knowing she was pretending. Immediately the surgery was successful, and her true self was revealed. She started spreading rumours about my parents, tarnishing their images. I was so shocked at the things I heard her saying. My mum could only exclaim and wonder why she had changed from the innocent woman we all knew to this new monster we're seeing.

"They are not rich, they are only pretending?" These were some of her words.

It got to a point where I was blaming my parents for helping her. "If you had just left her the way she was, all this wouldn't have happened", I told my parents.

Many of our close friends all had one thing or the other to say, and many suggested that we let it go and move on, and that's exactly what we did. But fate can be funny at times, it never gives us a warning before dishing out to us. She thought she wouldn't need help again, but the lady I'm questioning misbehaved to so many people. After she recuperated, she began having issues with her husband, we heard some rumors that she was cheating on her husband.

That became an uproar; now she missed the boat of compassion, love, care, and assistance from so many people, as no one wanted to relate to her to avoid what happened to us. She desperately needed help but no one stood up for her. Today she and her husband have separated, she moved out of the house, and things haven't been the same for her ever since then.

Thanks for your time and your comments will be appreciated.
