Yvonne Nelson Reveals Late Mr Nelson Is Not Her Real Dad, Regrets Insulting Him
The constant bashing of bad fathers by Yvonne Nelson has been as loud as the trumpet of the last day. Every year on Father’s Day, she honours her mother, but she now regrets it all because she has learned that her mother lied to her.
Her persistent criticism of deadbeat fathers has portrayed her actual father, Mr. Oko Nelson, as a negligent parent. ‘I Am Not Yvonne Nelson,’ the actress’s new book, contains a shocking plot twist in which she confesses that the man is not really her father.
Since learning that the man she has been calling out is not her real father, Yvonne Nelson is currently experiencing excruciating pain and regret.
“I do not know where to begin this and what it will achieve, but I feel strongly about it. I know I have to do it. I feel I owe you an apology, even if the timing is wrong and my apology may mean nothing to you,” she said.
Mr. Nelson passed away before the actress could apologize to him at the hospital, which made matters worse for her because she discovered the secret information just as he was about to pass away.
“But, wherever you are, find a place in your heart to forgive me. I became resentful towards you because of what my mother told me about you. I had no reason to doubt her because when I made attempts to get close to you, your rejection only confirmed her claim that you didn’t like me.
At one point, I even thought you hated me. I knew you and my mother were not on good terms, but I did not deserve to be treated like a piece of rag by my father. That’s how I saw your reaction,” she recounted.
According to Yvonne “one cannot blame a child who constantly heard that her dad did not like her. That child would obviously grow up detesting him. I did not understand why a man would hate his own offspring. It was the reason I painted you black in a number of media interviews I granted. That was all the information I had about you. Though I didn’t go to the extreme, I spoke the truth. You were not part of my life and I did not hesitate to say that publicly. At the time, I was right”.
In her book “I Am Not Yvonne Nelson,” Yvonne Nelson set aside a chapter to express her regret to the man whose surname she mistakenly bears as a result of her mother’s deceit.
“However, I have now come to understand that you had no reason to be part of my life at all. You owed me nothing, not even your surname. I have come to know the truth and realised that you may have had your own battles as far as I was concerned. You were not my father and I was not your daughter,” she said.
Mr. Nelson passed away in 2017, but the actress chose not to even go to his funeral because she thought the deceased was her father, who didn’t love her.
“To you, your children and your family, I sincerely apologise. I’m sorry that I said all those things about you. I wish you were alive so I could say this to you in person. I first heard from my mother that you were not my father when I visited you in the concluding part of 2016, during the dying embers of your life. I was still in shock. Before I confirmed the truth, you were gone,” Yvonne said.
She concluded that “I regret I couldn’t apologise to you in person. Although the first apology should have come from my mother, I wish I could kneel by you and tell you how sorry I am. But that is not the only reason I wish You were around. I would have loved to know whether you knew the with. I would have loved to hear whether you knew I was not your daughter, and more importantly, if you knew of someone else who”.
Because she claims she cannot comprehend why her mother lied to her about Mr. Nelson, Yvonne’s relationship with her mother has deteriorated as a result of this shocking revelation. Later, she explained in the book that it has been a year since she last saw her mother.
I Am Not Yvonne Nelson, which now reveals that “Nelson” is the actress’ name, centres on this revelation as its climax.
