Women’s Chronicles

According to Kirk ‘Chow Pow’ Jardine fathers are under attack. That statement was made on his Facebook page hours after he left the lock-up where he was held for allegedly publicly assaulting his daughter physically.

“I just want to be a blessing to the children and even to my colleagues.

“I can’t believe this is the order. I don’t know what I will do with my children.

“I don’t know what is happening with me, I am just forgetting things all the time.

“I just tired of working in the night. Sometimes I feel as if I am not getting any time for myself much less my children.

Recently I came across the name Majah Hype. Apparently this individual was born Colin Nigel McPherson and he is described as a Caribbean comedian who is known for his skits on social media.

“All I want is for my children to grow up to be God-fearing, well-adjusted, productive citizens of this society.

This week, a sister shares her recent experience at the Georgetown Public Hospital.

Most women value true friendship. I have heard some of us say that we don’t need friends as we have our families.

I am due back at the desk shortly. But this column from November last year reminds us that we should be mindful of those we call friends.

As indicated last week I am away from the office and I am reprinting some columns that resonate.

I will be away from the office for the next few weeks and will be unable to conduct interviews but I still wanted to bring the experiences of women to this space.

“The sight of my son walking through the door in a hospital gown, skin bloody with obvious injuries is one that I would never forget.

“It is like a fight for survival. You are anxious most of the times, because you don’t know what will be the next move.

“Sometimes I feel as if I am going crazy, like life is just slipping me by.

“The worst thing a woman could do is marry to a man that don’t talk.

I questioned over and over, how could a beautiful 23-year-old woman with so much happening give up on life?

Early this month (June 4th to be exact) I wrote about a sister who endured years of domestic abuse and felt she had no alternative but to remain in the situation.

This week I am sure has been a troubling one for most of us with the horrific allegations of rape against sitting Government Minister Nigel Dharamlall by a 16-year-old school girl.
