Before her second marriage, Tima Kumkum spent seven years as a sole parent, shouldering the responsibilities of both mother and father for her children. When she eventually found a partner, her children embraced him wholeheartedly, calling him "daddy" and building a genuine bond with him.

The family appeared to be thriving for a period, but things gradually unravelled.

When her husband moved out of the family home on April 1, 2025, Tima was not immediately honest with her children about what had happened. Her daughter's morning questions about where "daddy" had gone prompted her to improvise.

"When he left home, my girl in the morning, 'Mommy, where is daddy?' Initially, I lied that he had travelled," she recounted during the interview.

She kept up the pretence for roughly six months before deciding the children deserved the truth.

She sat them down and explained that she and their father were going through difficulties, telling them that the outcome would depend on whether those issues could be resolved.
