In an interview with Joy Prime, Asato recounted that their joy after welcoming Martin Junior began to dwindle after the boy started showing signs that worried them.

''I took him to the hospital and he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy,'' he said.

Asato who resides in Mafi Adidome, a community in Central Tongu District of the Volta Region, said they had to deal with their family whose misconceptions.

The faulty views of their family had a heavy toll on them, especially on the couple's relationship.

Asato recounted that his wife abandoned them after her family claimed that he was responsible for the state of their son, saying he had bewitched their son.

''The mother’s family gave her pressure, asking her to find a way of leaving the child. She finally left and I took up the responsibility as the mother and father,'' he said.
