We had a child but didn’t get married. When I got pregnant, he gave me two choices. Either I abort or he leaves me. I didn’t like any of the choices but I couldn’t have it either way so I chose not to abort and he decided to leave me.

He started coming around when I gave birth. I thought the child would bring us together, so I was hoping. One day he told me he was getting married. While my heart was breaking, he assured me he wasn’t going to leave the child behind. I couldn’t stop a moving train so a couple of months later, he got married.

Our child was a little over a year old when he came to visit us with his wife. He said he wanted us to know each other. He sent money monthly until one day he came asking me to give our child to him. When I said no, he went to my parents to tell them. I still said no. He made it clear that he wasn’t going to send anything until I gave him the child. I didn’t mind him.

For two years he didn’t send anything and I didn’t call to ask him to send me anything. I saw him once in a while but we didn’t talk. One day his wife called me. She was very loud and angry about something. She said I should stop demanding unnecessary money from her husband so he could take care of her too. “You’re not the only woman in his life. Stop draining him!”

She wouldn’t let me talk. She cut the line and didn’t pick up my calls. A few weeks later she called again. This time she wasn’t angry. She spoke slowly and asked how long her husband spent at my place the previous night. I was like “Your husband? He said he came to me? No, he didn’t.”

She exhaled and cut the line.

She called again weeks later asking me to give my child to her so my husband would stop coming around to see me. I screamed, “Your husband doesn’t come to me!”

She still didn’t believe me. The next thing I knew, she had gone to report me to my parents that I was still sleeping with my ex—her husband. A man I hadn’t seen in two years. He doesn’t even pick up my calls.

So I blocked her line. A few days ago she sent me a message with another phone saying I’m the reason why she hasn’t conceived in three years. Her pastor says I’ve taken her womb and buried it under the sea. I laughed out loud but on second thought I felt I had to do something to make this woman stop harassing me. I’m also afraid she might take me somewhere to do something spiritual to me. I’m confused about what to do to her that’s why I’m here. Please advise
