Popular
dancehall singer, Cynthia Morgan, in a chat with Saturday Beats,
revealed that the first time she laid eyes on her father was when she
turned seven years.
The
delectable singer said that although she did not grow up with her
father, she made the best of the situation by determining to be a
success in life and make her mother proud.
She said,
“The first time I met my father was when I was seven years old and I
know what it feels like. There is the psychological effect that comes
with growing up without your parents together as a kid. It is only few
people like me that came out normal and I became determined to be
successful in life so as to make my mother proud. Some people use that
as an escape to be wayward and turn out to be a single parent just like
their mothers who gave birth to them. They forget that no woman wishes
to be a single parent if they really knew what they were going into.
Everyone wants the best for their kids and having a father is one of
those things.”
Taking a
trip down memory lane, she recalled how bad she felt whenever her
friends’ parents came to visit them in school and how her peers talked
about the places they visited during vacations in school.
“Those
days in school, parents came to pick their kids and my friends often
told me how they went on vacation with their parents. I felt bad because
I didn’t have such experience. It is only few kids who experienced what
I did that would understand because it goes a long way in shaping one’s
life even when you become an adult. You feel alone and lost. This is as
serious as rape, child abuse and domestic violence. I have met a couple
of young people who told me they won’t get married; they just want to
have babies. This is actually what prompted me into writing the song, Baby Mama,” she said.
