Yesterday on Kisses and Roses, musician Ohemaa Tina said something that lingered long after the show ended:
“Every man should understand that side chicks are like a hospital — you go there for treatment and return home. You don’t stay there. And sometimes, the wrong medication can destroy you.”
Kwame thought he had life under control.
A family man.
A respected man.
A man who believed he could balance everything — even a little “escape” on the side.
To him, it was simple: just a place he visited when life felt overwhelming. Like going to a hospital for quick relief.
But as Ohemaa Tina wisely said,
you don’t relocate to the hospital.
Temporary comfort is not a permanent home.
Slowly, the escape became a trap.
Admiration turned into expectation.
And the “treatment” he sought began bringing side effects he never anticipated.
One wrong conversation…
One wrong influence…
One wrong “medication”…
And suddenly, the marriage he built with years of sacrifice began to tremble.
He realized too late:
– Side hospitals don’t heal homes.
– Distractions don’t fix real issues.
– Not every place that feels soothing is safe.
Sometimes, the very place you run to for comfort
is the same place that can destroy everything you value.
