Mistreated by dead father’s friends
Dear Studio Edirisa,
I am an S2 dropout who left the village after losing my father, to look for work in town because life was becoming difficult for me in the village. Unfortunately I couldn’t find work and decided to stay at my father’s friend’s place. They are a young married couple with no children or housemaid and own a stationery shop in town. They always come back after 1am with their food and wake me up in the middle of my sleep to cook for them. The loss of my father is still fresh in my mind, waking up at night to cook reminds me of him and causes me more stress. I am always tempted to refuse but fear being thrown out of the house because I have no where to go. Besides, I don’t want to be a bad person to the people who offered me a helping hand in times of need. What should I do?
