Dear GhanaWeb,

There’s a disabled man who lives next door to us in the same fenced compound. He uses a wheelchair, cannot speak, and has limited mobility, but he understands what’s happening around him and communicates through gestures. He lives with his only brother and the brother’s wife.

I’ve come to learn that he was born with this condition. He used to live with their parents, but after they passed away, his care became the responsibility of his brother.

Unfortunately, I’ve noticed that his brother’s wife often mistreats him, especially when her husband is not around. Although the man is fragile and unable to speak, he deserves compassion and proper care. Instead, she pushes him outside and leaves him in the hot sun for hours at a time. When I asked why, she claimed he had urinated on himself and needed to air out to dry.

I felt deeply sorry for him and raised concerns, but ever since then, she has stopped speaking to me. I’ve found myself at a loss about how to bring this to his brother’s attention. When the brother is home, his wife pretends to care for the man lovingly, hiding her true behavior.

I’ve seen this poor man left outside with no food or water, tears silently rolling down his cheeks. It breaks my heart, but I don’t know the right way to intervene.

One day, after I confronted her again about the way she was treating him, she snapped and said that if I was so concerned, I should take him to my place and bring him back before her husband returned, because she was tired of looking after him. Out of frustration and sympathy, I took the man into my home.

I bathed him, fed him, and made sure he was comfortable. I did that for a few days, then I started noticing how huge his manhood was. I started taking interest in it, then I realised that if I touched it seductively, it rises.

I’m sorry to say this but the man become more like my sex toy ever since. I go for him daily. Though I take good care of him, I also sleep with him. I think he like it because he’s always eager to be at my place. I’m currently pregnant for him, I can’t go and tell them that their sick relative is responsible.



I’m also 35 so I don’t want to abort it. I keep asking myself, what if I deliver a child like him. I’m getting scared. I like the man’s manhood though I can’t and won’t marry someone like him or have a child like him.

Should I tell the man’s brother about it? Or should I abort the pregnancy? Honestly this wasn’t intentional, I was just curious and wanted to have fun. I feel sorry for myself for being single sometimes.

The man’s brother is rich and they live in a mansion. I’m just perching in a small house behind theirs.

If I should tell him I’m pregnant for his sick brother, do you think he’ll compensate me financially? I need help with what to do.
