Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Juliet shared that she had been living with her parents when she began dating the man.
However, after becoming pregnant, she feared disappointing her family and was taken in by the man.
“I went to live with his family in Migadini for some time, and while there, I was basically a househelp, struggling a lot. One day, a friend of my parents saw me and informed them that I was pregnant and living in very poor conditions,” she said.
“We broke up when I was living in Migadini and he was in Mkomani, Ratna Square, and our baby was eight months old,” Juliet recalled.
Juliet educated their son until Form Four with much struggle, while engaging in odd jobs here and there. However, things came to a head three years ago.
“I am unable to continue with his education; he really wants to be a policeman. He has been home for three years and has attended recruitment three times but has not been successful. Maybe his dad can take better care of him,” she said.
“I would have loved to give my son a good life, but I have been sick for the last few years. I was pricked by a poisonous palm tree, and my leg was in very bad condition for the last two years. At the time, I had gone to Tana River to sell a piece of land I owned so that I could start a business to help my children,” she added.

How much did Juliet sell her land for?
Juliet sold her land for KSh 50,000, but it didn’t help much, as all the proceeds went toward treating her foot, which was swollen and eventually burst open.
She is now recovering and has started a business, but it has yet to take off, making it hard to make ends meet for the family. This is why she is seeking help from Feisal, her baby daddy.
“I only know that he came from Ukambani, and at one point, he wanted the baby to visit his mum for blessings, but it never happened. I last saw him walking in Mombasa, ran to him, we talked, and he gave me some money. That was the last time I saw him,” she said.
Dealing with a young adult son is not the only challenge Juliet faces. She also has a Grade 10 daughter who has yet to attend school, while other children have already resumed.
“There is also another child in PP1,” she said, referring to her predicament.
Mombasa woman regrets looking for baby daddy
In another story, a Mombasa woman received negative comments after leaking her WhatsApp messages from her alleged deadbeat baby daddy.
The woman had reached out to him regarding the child they shared after more than two years, but the man was very cold.
According to the lady, she was ready to do anything, including starting litigation against the baby daddy because their daughter had a right to know she had a father.
