“If You're Still Broke, Don’t Bother Texting Me” After 19 Years, Woman Furious as Deadbeat Baby Daddy Resurfaces With A Text, Leaks Chats

A young woman has sparked debate online after publicly calling out her baby daddy who reappeared nearly two decades after abandoning their child.

The woman, identified as Yaakii Bella, shared her frustration after receiving unexpected messages from the man.

In his texts, the estranged father begged to be unblocked on WhatsApp and pleaded for a second chance to reconnect with his child.

According to Bella, the man disappeared from their lives shortly after their son was born.

She revealed that for 19 years, she had carried the burden of raising the child alone, without emotional or financial support from him.

In the screenshots she posted, the man admitted he had made mistakes in the past and asked Bella to allow communication for the sake of their son.

“Please be considerate. I’m only human and humans make mistakes. We have a son together, and that will never change,” part of his text read.

But Bella, who seemed angered by the sudden plea, gave him a sharp response. She said he had no right to return empty-handed after missing out on almost two decades of fatherhood.

Her message was clear: unless he was ready to take responsibility financially, there was no point in contacting her.

“Nineteen years later and you suddenly remember you’re a father? If you’re broke, don’t even try texting. When you’re ready to make up for the years of neglect, then we can talk,” she wrote.

The post quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions from netizens. Some supported Bella, saying she was justified in demanding accountability from a man who had failed his parental duties.

Others, however, urged her to consider reconciliation for the sake of their son, arguing that children benefit from the presence of both parents.

One user commented, “Deadbeat dads should understand that showing up after 19 years is not a joke. You can’t just reappear when it’s convenient.”

Another added, “Sometimes we need to let go of the past and think about the child’s future. Forgiveness might be the first step.”
