Hae Lynn where did Michael share his therapist number?

One thing I have learnt over time is that the moment you learn to leave alone then you need no body to complete you. Being at peace with yourself is the most important thing one can ever have. Approach relationship with logic and not emotions, that was powerful

Mike Opondo, I am a therapist and can attest that your story merits therapy together with all your siblings and your Mom. Forgive her and pursue the cause of your happiness as you put your past as a lesson. I believe your great therapist took you through psychoanalysis theory of of the conscious and unconscious mind together with how it impacts on adults at the later stages of life. We thank God that you are processing your traumas responsively. I affirm you and also affirm the therapist that is working on your situation

I think God is preparing him for something greater that's why his several suicide attempts were not working out. My hubby has gone through almost the same rejection with his dad but he has turned out to be the greatest dad to our son I couldn't ask for more.

I really learnt a lot from listening to Michael. This young man talks a lot of deep sense. My heart goes out to him. Highly intelligent young man and also displays a wonderful sense of humour despite the pain he has had to bear for all the years. Michael , you will make an outstanding father in the future. I pray you meet the right woman for you coz you have so much love to give her and the children who will one day make you a proud father. Best wishes ❤

This story has touched me. As a parent, my heart goes out to Mike and all who have gone through this journey of life, at one point or another, feeling and believing that they are unwanted. You are not rejected, humans are teachers they may walk away but God never does, despite it all. Your past is a teacher too; Forgiveness starts the healing phase and You are definitely not your past,

So happy to see men coming out and speaking , it really helps other men to speak out. Thank you Mike , Sending you positive vibes

This is so heartbreaking 😭,this guy need someone to give him a very tight hug lasting for 30 minutes to cry and relief the pain he is carrying Wish healing mike,May God of Peace locate you 💖

Michael looks sad but since he is working towards fixing his life, i believe he will be fine. A step at a time.

What a story! I have cried so hard, this boy has suffered a lot, parents really we do have to subject our own flesh and blood to so much suffering? Prayers son, God will heal your wounds and the pain will be a testimony.

I was raised single mother but my mum was there for me . She is a HERO. After KCPE results is when l really wanted to know who my father was and l really pushed my mum even threatened my mum to take her court for not telling me who my father was because l wanted to know my father so he can pay my secondary school fees and also university or college fees, because my mum income was from hand to mouth, my mum has no say but introduce me to my father, l still regret to date why l meet my father, he put much pain in my heart what. The answers he gave me were more than poison to me. I thank GOD am in 30s now without father figure in my life. my father is GOD! Live long my mum.

My father is from my village but lived in Nairobi. I came to know about him when I was in 2nd Year campus. I waited until I finished university and contacted him after being given his contact by one of my step-sister after I met her in the village. I one day thought I could talk to him and ask his side of the story though technically I never ever confronted my mother about him, I called him and introduced myself and said I wanted to meet up with him, He said that he was not around but when he comes back he would communicate with me and that is the last day we ever talked. ''Hajawahi toka kwenye alienda'' We are total strangers who meet on the road when I go to the village. I personally don't like him since I gave him a chance which he never took. I definitely never expect him to ever approach me coz I will never give him a chance since now I came to realize is that its his fault. Am a father of one son and I have raised that kid from the day of conception and up to now and I have a very stable family and I thank God for that but I can never allow anyone to control my life. Please note I was his First kid and for that matter a son. Thankyou mum and my grand parents for stepping up for me when that coward could not and I know that that is the guilt he has. I have never felt a void in my heart despite never calling anyone dad. Am so happy with my life. Never force issues in this life.

As a Pastor….(retired), I’ve had the great privilege of counseling many who have, or are walking a similar road… Bless you both, and loads of Thanks!!

Another problem I have noticed is about Mikes IQ. People who are bright think alot and it ends up making their problems worse. I had a similar problem but managed to make some good money, which has helped me cope. I still have huge problems with family to the extent i dont see the need for one. I find it sad when i some wannabe rich women claim that they dont men in their lives while they have kids. Its a disaster in the making, especially for sons like me.

For me I see Micheal as a person who's been handpicked by the Most High. Micheal you are victorious and an overcomer and you are also evidently divinely protected. Kindly complete therapy and healing first before marriage and children because these generational things just find a way of repeating themselves if they're not dealt with. When you spoke about writing to Maya it broke my heart because if she happened to be real it would have meant the cycle has actualized again. Also please look into deliverance if you haven't already. I believe God has selected you to break the curses in your family and to bring awareness to the nation/world at large . It is well with you and know the worst has passed now. The healing process has started and you're on your way to a very wonderful future and you will be a great father IJN. God bless you and keep you. May he shine his face upon you. It is well.

...so for those who always judge single parents (mother or fathers it's no longer mothers only) for not introducing the other party it's because they don't want the child to face outright rejection. We do the math and figure God is still alive. As for the father of this guy, hmmm, very unfortunate. Meanwhile take note that what this young guy constantly mentions is stability, belonging and consistency. Not money. So those who don't want to pay child support that's fine. But can you be consistently present and be emotionally and psychologically stable? This guy never says he was hoping to meet his dad and leave with a sack of money. As for the dad, shame on him. At some point in life one has to be daring and mature enough to accept his own despite the consequences. And Pauline wanted to manipulate this guy. Calling him dead beat is part of manipulation and nassisism. She knows what it means to him to be called that. He must see her for who she is as opposed to imagining he is deadbeat. And am very happy he never fell for the pregnancy trick. Am a lady btw.

At the end of the interview he was smiling, this is someone who is well on the road to total recovery. Thank you for being so inspiring. I wish you well

There is a portion of his story that I’ve never been able to put to words until I watched this video. May he continue to find healing.

Thank you for Part 2,we are grateful.What a traumatic story ,very triggering but also very uplifting .We can learn good lessons here as family.Sometimes your parents home is not the place you feel safe and that’s okay.You don’t have to be in a place where you feel unsafe until the right time ,if you find a place you feel safe be there and try to heal .When a child is lashing out ,parents should know there is a reason behind it ,most of it is associated with trauma ,we have parents especially African parents who do not want to accept that their children are facing mental challenges,they look away instead of offering help.Family can hurt you so bad but pretend they did not do anything wrong.It comes a time to forgive and forget them ,if anyone or family hurts you forgive and stay away from them ,from the pain they keep inflicting on you ,that is another way to heal, it means you choose yourself,learn to choose yourself always. The pain you go through is never pain God will not use to bless you.When we are going through pain we think God has abandoned us.People around you will say God has abandoned you ,but their laughs and gossips is what God will use to uplift you right before their faces .I remember the times I cried so much to God and asked for my blessings and after so much pain God blessed me. To anyone struggling.God is listening and seeing ,cry to the Almighty Father and ask to be blessed.Remember to be kind,love genuinely ,Follow the ten commandments and hold tight to God.God is your best friend,your family not anyone else.God will bless you in your suffering and deliver you from pain.I am sending love and big hugs to all the people who are struggling.May God remember you.

Lynn thanks a lot for bringing Mike's continuation. This is a special guest in many ways than one, speaking from the vulnerable make child. You know how to balance guests on balance of probability. Continue doing the good work for the sky is your limit

All that you see,is not all that there is! I am proud of Mike because of him being intentional to heal and to be better. His father's behaviour has a root...his dad too has something deeply rooted that's spilled over into how he embraced(or lack of) his son. True and complete healing will come from a source greater than therapy. An intentional connection to GOD who is our Source will help Mike see the root and the beginning of this that has really hurt him and this will help him disconnect from the root for him and his children. It's transgenerational. All that you see,is never all there is.

Dear Michael, God saved you for a purpose and you have no idea of how many lives you have saved by just sharing your story. May the Lord restore all that you lost.

This story has 1M lessons. Mike write a book 📚

What an articulate, eloquent and highly intelligent young man. You tell a very painful story with an amazing calm grace. There are so many lessons in this story, but the one that really stood out to me, is the way the mom was so strict. We African parents tend to be sooooo strict, that the children grow up so scared. Had the mom not been very mkali, Mike would have opened up to her and told her all what he was going through. She provided material things very well, but nothing emotionally. I am very happy the way you have resolved a lot of the issues In your life. I am very happy you are going for therapy because every thing can be healed as long as you put effort. I wish you find a good lady who will make a wonderful wife, and you will make a great father. Come back and tell us more after you get married, I really enjoyed listening to you.

i really waited for this part two...finally. Mike, I am so proud of you. The fact that you have decided to focus on your healing is the best gift you can give to yourself. Where we are born, things we go through are there to shape us and am so happy because you made a conscious decision not to be like your father. You are intentional about this and God will give you the grace and strength because that new era in your family will begin with you. You are the change that you've always wanted to see. WHAT YOU CANNOT CHANGE, SHIFT YOUR POSITION (MINDSET) AND YOU WILL BEGIN TO SEE ALL THOSE WALLS OF LIMITATION BREAKING RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES. YOU ARE GREAT. YOU ARE DESTINED FOR GREATNESS. PLEASE WRITE A BOOK#A GREAT AUTHOR IN THE MAKING

May it never rain again Mike. Your laugh captures hearts. Your self-awareness is so poignant. I hope that the people who you open your heart to treasure this great quality about you. And you are right, children make you aware of your childhood wounds. Keep reading the books and healing your soul.

The people we look for teach us that we don’t need them, I stopped looking and explaining myself to people and being present and discarded over and over again. If peace means being separated from my loved ones I take that, I grew up rejected and no one thought i would amount to much, i felt the constant need to draw people to me/ people pleasing and many took advantage and took what they wanted and more then left, I was always hurt when people left my circles like truly heartbroken now I accept rejection and choose not to present my case or side of the story after giving my very best May you keep prospering brother, God bless your family. You will keep thriving, I always wanted a family of my own and God blessed me with two children am not a perfect mom but through these forums am learning more each day

My personal person's story. I'm so thankful for his grandma who stood in the gap, played both roles (mother, father, granny) as his mom kept remarrying. Glad that he doesn't have so much emotional issues. God please, bless that granny for me. Bless us with children to go merry together as a large family. I love her to the core.

Thank you Mike for sharing. You spoke to a soul out here. God bless you man and grant you peace, much more, the desires of your heart.🙏

Thank you Lynn for this episode. Mike was so open and trueful about the reality of his childhood and the way that physical and mainly emotional abandoment has on children, even when we are adults. I especially love this views on being intentional when approaching relationships. I wished I had had his insight many years ago when I saw the red flags in my relationship, with my now ex-husband. I wish him God's blessings as he will one day be an amazing father.

This guy is so thoughtful, good with words, intelligent, wise beyond his age, philosophical & intentional with his words. I hope that parents have learnt a lot from this conversation; namely, be present. There's a lot we assume we know about our children but their perception of certain 'insignificant' things in their lives can break us, if we knew. I wish you nothing but the best Mike. May you have your heart's desires.

Thank you so much Mike, your story has opened my eyes to look for a therapist. May God never leave you.

Mike is candid and open about his emotional struggles. He's intelligent, articulate, confident and strong and I'm glad he went for therapy and has lived to tell his painful story. I love that he's chosen his peace and is moving on. Mike there's a reason that God preserved your life and you have a great destiny

I feel this gentleman.And I have decided to make my grandson to never be affected by the fact that his father e not around.So help me God 🙏

I need therapy too. Thanks for your story am 30years old and I was planning to visit my paternal home for the first time .... there's no need after watching you here.

Similar to my story was brought up by a single mom too,we were staying at the coast and my dad had remarried when I was to sit for my kcpe my mom passed on,that’s when I started reaching out to my dad after my results were out and to my surprise my dad avoided me at all cost he never wanted to hear me out about my going to high school instead he said to me he couldn’t afford to pay for my school fees instead he stated that I should join a tailoring school which I agreed fast forward three months after joining the tailoring school he couldn’t pay fees too,from there on I had to drop out applied for my ID at the age of 16 which I had to fake and add 2 more yrs ahead,after I got my ID I never looked for my dad again started searching for jobs luckly I got a job at a tender age my aim was to go back to school,3yrs later my dad got really sick and they called me to go see him the 1st thing i did when I saw my dad i started crying I went to his bed held hand tightly and kissed it coz he couldn’t talk he was just pointing at me and mumbling the next thing we were both crying😢 Later on that evening my dad was rushed to hospital and that’s how my dad passed on,am not bitter about my dad I forgave him coz he had his reasons too and am at peace now still going on with my education soon will be joining a nursing school,thanks Mike for sharing your story

I had and still have my mama mkubwa and mama mdogo. I have my 'mama Eddies too' An uncle who is stable and will open his home and listen to me' my home is free for you'.I was an emotional child too.I have searched to be claimed and to belong too.My father rejected me after he knew of my existance.I never asked about him for years since nobody mentioned him.When I asked,the response was not that good.But he is alive somewhere,I resolved never to worry or look fir him.If he's alive and knows I exist,he could have made an effort.But as Mike said,"the people we want are likely to prove to us that we don't need them" I have learnt to be thankful for those who stepped up when he decided I was not part of his life.If he ever shows up,I have no idea of how I will react.I might freeze too cos that's how I react.

Wow wow what an inspirational story especially for a man to come out and open out,,,,,, lesson learnt forgiveness is the key in our life and peace is everything,, Mike you have gone through alot but God has good plans in your no matter what you went through, rejections, relationship issues you will still make it iam sure u will be the best dad ever in your marriage. ,,, but why do a man reject his own blood infact hadi akiwa grown up or he thought cost was needed this life,,,, thanks Lynn for bringing this young intelligent, full of wisdom we are happy

I hunger for your content Lyn very inspiring and with life lessons and guidance 🙏💕

I’m happy for his smile. Keep on smiling Mike. Live up your remaining years happily and prosperously.

So proud of you Mike, You have achieved so much for yourself considering your childhood circumstances. If I could would wipe away your pain but I know God loves you, he saved you for a purpose when you had given up on life. Praying that God gives you a life partner who is honest and caring as yourself.

I have loved the ending...therapy has really worked.. And mike is naturally smart!

Lynn, you are indeed gifted, mimi udaku would not allow me to wait for Mike to articulate his thoughts kama mzee kobe. It was lovely to hear his laugh and see him smile. God has just began a great thing in his life. Watch this space....

Thank you Lynn and the whole team for always bringing to us these interviews which are informative and highly educative. God bless the team and give you people wisdom and strength to continue with your calling. Thank you Michael for sharing your life. I pray God bless you and give you strength.

This breaks my heart. I really hope he gets the help he need. I'm giving you a bigg virtusl hug mike.

woow listening to his story for sure am touched and amazed at his mature and logical approach i'll try to make it my life mission to pray for this young man for God to give him peace and love that surpasses all human understanding as well as restore him to become the father that he never had.

I couldn't afford to miss this part 2 Thanx Lynn .some dad though

Felt like I was watching a younger version of prof. Anyang Nyong'o, from the looks to the talking.

Woow! I don't know what to say to you mike, the energy of looking for your father was just on another level. I personally dont know my father and truly dont know where I could start looking for him because my mother told me she was raped by her boss and she doesn't take my request of atleast knowing him kindly at all. At 33 I still feel deprived of that privilege. I think I too need therapy, I have never considered it but your story was such an eye opener. Thankyou Lyn.

I have looking for this since yesterday, I'm happy it's here at last,thanks.

I relate to him talking about Maya so much. I really wish he finds peace , and we can keep up with his journey. We are cheering for you. I pray for your healing

You have told the story perfectly,,, i feel you so sorry for the rejection , May God strengthen you. May mama Eddy rest in perfect peace

At the end I smiled... God bless you Mike.you are strong,.learnt alot from these..taken notes too.....looking forward to put them in practice.

Your story is truly inspirational.Thank you for sharing. Wishing you all the best.

Been waiting for this continuation since yesterday. I can feel the pain in Mike's voice, unfortunately when divorce happens it is children who bear the brunt. Especially when one of the parents chooses to be absent in their lives. As parents, if we choose to go separae ways, let us normalize co-parenting so that our children don't suffer from the side-effects of our choices.

............touching story. All I can say is that there's a God in heaven who preserves us for a reason. Mike is destined for greatness. What I've learnt, there are loads of baggage on our backs sometimes & what we just need is to put them down, focus on yourself and everything else will fall into place.

I start by congratulating Mike for sailing through all those dark moments of life.Am sure you now know that life issues and other people do not define you.I see a man who is a conqueror.I would like to encourage you to love yourself.Forgive your father for not being in your life.Forgive your ex girfriend for making you belief in a lie.Forgive your abuser as a child.Finally, love yourself and pat your back for what you have achieved by yourself and for the much you will achieve.Those things that didn't happen have taught you something.You will be a great father.Your future is in your hands and God.Shape it as if you have been born today.Don't expect anybody to be on your side but God.Support you.Spoil you.Invest for you.Crown it all by loving God and those who want to be your friends.It is well.You are 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

I said it in part one and l say it again, Mike , write a book. This is powerful

Thanks for sharing your story Mike. So many points to take home.

I hope Mike finds peace. Very eye opening conversation.

Identity crisis is a devil itself in many children that haunts through childhood. Glad he took the therapy step. The pain is still evident but things will work out for good

An intelligent young man he is.. May God see him through as he heals his wounds

Mike healing is a process and thank God for being consious and present ,cz once you resist those two and become unconscious and being in the past ,it becomes emotional pain body from negative energy that has accumulated from the past. , May God continue healing you for you to be deeply into the now .Be blessed for sharing and being bold to open up ,there are people going through the same trauma but, through you they will be encouraged to be able to open up and share .Lynn be blessed for airing.
