. To the Man Who Holds Money Over Her Head
You asked her to stay home.
You said it was best for the kids.
You told her not to worry—you’d take care of everything.
And she believed you.
She gave up more than just a job.
She gave up her independence, her identity, her own paycheck.
She shifted her entire world to care for yours.
She became the one who wipes tears, kisses scraped knees, tracks appointments, folds laundry at midnight, and carries the weight of motherhood quietly—without recognition, without breaks.
And now?
Now you use that choice as leverage.
You throw money like it’s proof of power.
You remind her that you’re the one who provides, as if that erases what she’s doing every day just to keep your home and children safe, healthy, and whole.
You act like you’re owed something.
Like she should feel grateful.
Like she’s lucky to be taken care of, instead of being treated like an equal.
But let’s be clear:
You’re not “taking care of her.”
You’re taking care of a family—a family she sacrifices for just as much, if not more.
You go to work? She never leaves hers.
You get a lunch break? She eats last—if at all.
You get to clock out? She never does.
And the cost of her “not working”?
It’s her financial freedom.
Her ability to leave if she’s ever mistreated.
Her ability to say no without worrying what it might cost her or the kids.
That’s not partnership.
That’s power imbalance.
And when you use money to control, shame, or silence her—that’s not love. That’s abuse.
She deserves more than survival.
She deserves to feel safe.
To feel valued.
To feel like her choice to stay home wasn’t the beginning of her disappearing.
So if you want to be a provider, be one.
Provide stability.
Provide kindness.
Provide space for her to breathe without fear that her existence comes with a price tag.[09/11, 08:17] Nadia: Snaaks vir my dat ñ pa nie sy kind se belange eerste stel

Because she’s not dependent.
She’s holding the foundation.
And if you ever lose sight of that, you’ll lose more than just money.
You’ll lose the woman who gave up everything—for a love that wasn’t supposed to make her feel less than.

Could life-coaching help you?
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or in need of a change? You may get the help you need from a life coach.
Mental wellness has become a growing topic of conversation in recent years. That’s good news for people struggling with mental illnesses like anxiety and depression, as it’s no longer considered taboo to seek help from a therapist. But what about those of us who simply need assistance getting through a situation that seems a little too large to handle on our own? In these cases, a life coach might be the answer.
What exactly is life-coaching?
It’s not surprising that there’s still considerable confusion around life-coaching, given that it’s fairly new in South Africa. It also doesn’t help that people often aren’t exactly clear on what a life coach does.
Martin Brits, who specialises in transformational coaching at Meta-Life Coaching, sheds some light on the matter: “The International Coaching Federation defines life‑coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential. This helps them unlock previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity, and leadership. But if you put that in plainer terms, a life coach empowers their clients to address some of their most urgent, challenging, or important life situations and guides them to obtain a more empowered stance, perspective, and attitude.”
Say, for example, you’re struggling with work-life balance, you feel like your relationships are foundering, or you’re trying to get to grips with a career transition. Your coach will help you gain clarity on your goals and then work together to identify the steps you need to take to achieve them. They will also co-create an accountability framework and keep you motivated as you work through the actions they suggest.
According to Martin, a life coach will support their clients to better understand their deepest desires and identify how they want to be or feel in the future. The coach supports their journey to implement a better lifestyle routine that eliminates unhealthy distractions and replaces them with good habits. As an added benefit, you’re likely to experience better physical and mental well-being as you enrich yourself by honing new skills.
What it’s not
Martin says it’s important to clarify what life-coaching can achieve. People often confuse life coaching with counselling, but they are very different. Counselling is a conversational form of therapy that involves a trained therapist listening to you and helping you, for example, find ways to deal with emotional issues that can stem from your upbringing and past events.
Even cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is different from life-coaching, despite the fact that both emphasise the development of beneficial habits. The key distinguisher is the emphasis. CBT helps clients experiencing issues like anxiety and depression by dealing with deep-seated perceptual distortions and thought patterns that affect their normal functions psychologically, emotionally, and behaviourally.
Life-coaching, on the other hand, is focused on creating a fulfilling future rather than trying to fix the past. Your life coach does this in a way that is not prescriptive by guiding and suggesting possible options rather than instructing.
Coaching is very different from mentoring, too, where the relationship is based on providing insight based on one’s own experience.
What you stand to gain
A coach can be described as a guide, motivator, and facilitator. “The life-coaching journey will likely help you acquire techniques that will enable you to tackle negative thoughts and emotions. You will learn how to turn challenges into stepping stones for growth and cultivate a mindset that helps improve mental and emotional wellness. While friends and family can provide compassion and advice and listen to your frustration with life’s challenges, improving your life and achieving success takes work, dedication, and time. A life coach not only helps you set goals, formulate action plans, and implement the steps needed to move forward, they also provide consistent support and motivation as you make progress,” Martin concludes.

It is so easy to judge by what the eye sees...mostly on whatsapp, and gossip. Sometimes we judge someone who we noticed when we were 5, 6 or 7 years old.
I am blessed to work with children. Every move they make has meaning. They speak true unspoken language...ask me to please" help me remove my tracksuit top"
Very often...we are too scared to ask please remove my top...we see this as a shell. A tortuse shell. Does anyone ever take the time to ask someone so close to you. Please help me.
We all know someone from school. Someone as an adult. Caring in my opinion means to be able to lift your hand and say hallo. Hug someone...I care.
If you read this...then you are more than caring.
