Renowned lawyer Maurice Ampaw has shared a heart-wrenching account of his strained relationship with his late father, Gibson Dokyi Ampaw.
Despite his father’s financial support, Maurice lamented that he never experienced fatherly love. “My father took care of us financially, but I never had fatherly love,” he revealed in an emotional interview.
Maurice’s parents separated when he was just two years old, and he was raised by his single mother. He only saw his father three times in his entire life, and their interactions were marked by criticism and rejection.
Despite following in his father’s footsteps to become a lawyer, Maurice was constantly belittled, labeled a “bad boy” and “rascal,” and even threatened with arrest.
The pain of his childhood experiences is still evident in Maurice’s words. He inherited an eight-bedroom storey building from his father’s will, but the legacy of rejection and absence remains a deeper wound.
Maurice’s story serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of emotional connection and fatherly love in shaping our lives.
