- She emphasized the impact on children’s mental well-being, urging privacy in family disputes.
A lady identified on Facebook as Eshi Ayo has come to the defence of Danielle, daughter of Yul Edochie, who recently removed her father’s name from her page.
In a Facebook post, Eshi criticized those who were quick to judge Danielle, arguing that they failed to grasp the emotional turmoil she may be experiencing and the potential harm their criticism could inflict.
According to Eshi, Danielle is deeply affected by her parent’s separation, particularly due to her father’s public behaviour.
She emphasized the profound emotional and psychological impact such family rift can have on children, advocating for their mental well-being to be prioritized in such situations.
Eshi condemned the public airing of family issues, especially those involving children, as it exposes them to harmful information and exacerbates their negative emotions.
She urged people to consider the privacy and emotional welfare of children in family disputes, rather than using their struggles for public entertainment.
She further highlighted the complexities children face when their parents’ marriage breaks down, emphasizing the sense of loss, confusion, and abandonment they often experience.
The lady emphasized that children may feel compelled to take sides, even when they don’t want to, and that witnessing their parents’ public disputes can deepen their emotional wounds.
Eshi concluded by urging individuals to prioritize their family’s mental, psychological, and emotional health before airing their grievances on the internet, particularly when children are involved.
In her words:
“When a marriage falls apart, it’s not just the husband and wife who are affected – the children of the marriage are the most affected. That is the case of Yul Edochie and his daughter, Danielle.
Maybe the decision to remove his surname from her name is due to the pain and confusion she’s feeling as a result of her parents’s separation.
Children need stability and security and the only thing that a failed marriage offers them is a lasting blòw on their emotional and psychological well-being. But everyone wants to criticize Danielle. How can she wade into her parents’ fight? But the fíghttt affects her more than even the parents. In cases such as this children are forced to take sides even when they don’t want to. You have no idea what the poor girl is going through.
Someday in school, someone will show her a video of her father and his new love dancing Isimili-jiofor and you expect her to be happy? She used to come home to the warm embrace of her father but they now see occasionally and you think she’s not deeply hurt? Imagine how damaging these can be nau.
Divorce and separation make children feel a sense of loss and abandonment because it changes their whole family structure. These children will sometimes feel confused and uncertain about their own identity and place in the family. They’d begin to feel angèr and bítternèss towards their parents, especially the one they consider to be the cause of the chaos. It’s not as funny as it looks to us, it is pàínfùl.
Before you bring your family affairs to the internet, consider the mental, psychological, and emotional health of your family, especially your children. Sigh!”
