Confronting My Mom About Her 18 Year Affair | Aiken Chia

[@AikenChiaMing]

Hello dear fam 💜, Mom and I are wonderfully overwhelmed by the heartwarming responses to us sharing our story. Thank you so much. While I'm unable to reply every comment, dm, and email but trust us, we read every one. Our hope is that through this video, you'll find the courage to look inward, embrace what's there, and give you the courage to walk away from anything you need to. We don't need to be defined by our mistakes. We love you and you're not alone!

[@jlow2728]

this is so brave, Aiken + Mom. Thank you for sharing this story, couldn't have been easy.. Lots of love for you both.

[@judithtordoir]

Shalom! Watched your vid this early morning from Kuala Lumpur and my tears flowed at such raw, sincere words from two genuine hearts, Aiken and Mum Ros, both just so precious at wanting to do the best after walking out of a painful experience. It made me see that making a conscious decision of walking out of a dark period and walking into the next phase for our own sakes and worth are what makes us, the good bits so overlooked now all come to the front and that's what touches my heart most. Because it's this period of walking alone with our innocent children in tow. When Aiken talked about how he used to watch his mum from far, and memorized every turn and direction his mum walked, and the time when Mum Ros had to go for a caesarian all alone, I wept!!! I could go on and on but I'll stop here and say that your testimony is to the Glory of God alone and how He alone can turn our pain into joy again is so evident. I recognize so much of us in both of you, tho I was the wife abandoned with three small children. Looking back I see how merciful God was to keep coming through for my children and me. So many life lessons to be honed and learned yet ever faithful, is Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. No one is turned away who comes to Him. God bless you both always. With hugs and love.

[@ycl9234]

I really feel for your mum. She was too young to make any proper decisions or judgement and also due to her lack of love from parents. There are so many people like her and we cannot judge before we know the whole story

[@redelephantsafari9217]

Thanks for sharing so openly and with such sincerity . Indeed when are obedient unto God, He will make us a channel of blessings to others .

[@debbieflaherty8303]

So lovely of your mother to be willing to share her story with us - I’ve recently learnt about what my parent(s) went through in their lives I understand them much better now that they have started to open up and share too. It’s been very therapeutic allowing for much emotional healing. Speaking from the heart (Reminds me of some ancient words : “My say is the sincere expression of my heart and my lips utter the best of their knowledge “ - Job33:3) applying this has improved our relationship☺️) Thank you for sharing 🌹 Much appreciated They did their best You have a beautiful and humble mum 🌹

[@Lauran5]

I almost teared when Aunty Ros said she went in for C-section all alone. Imagine going in to have your body cut open and having no one to hold your hand when you wake up, followed by healing all by yourself. The pain isnt just physical. I'm so sorry you had to go throught that all by yourself, Aunty Ros. Aiken is worth it, though!

[@FinancialFitness27]

You and your mom are so kind and blessed. Thank you for your sharing. Please give this small gift for the charity of your mom choice. God Bless you all

[@AikenChiaMing]

🥺🥺 thank you so much. I'll make sure she gets it :) thanks for watching and giving too

[@rachelyeooo]

Your mom is so brave for stepping out and sharing her life with the public! It’s so heart warming to see how far both of you have come and a united household. She truly has a heart of generosity ❤

[@nonelikekyu]

15:45 hearing "i'm not ashamed of you" out loud is so moving 🥺those words are so powerful and healing...

[@Veeta-po2yg]

So beautiful to see mom and son had no vengeance but so forgiving and accepting to the flaws and wrongs. This is what needed in every family. Acceptance in every ups and especially the downs. May God bless you two abundantly!

[@Bigeffort]

You are very fortunate to have such an amazing mum. I am born a illegitimate child, my dad was never divorced and lived with my mum. I was never being loved by my parents. Since 15yrs old I worked part time to earn my own pocket money, and at 18yrs old I had to help pay rental and household bills for me and my mum. My mum till today is only in favor with me cos I pay bills and supported her. I am envious of how open you and ur mum can talk to each other. This is something I can never have cos my mum will only talk about money or something she want. I suffered from severe trauma becos of my past and my mum but I never give up in giving love to my own family.

[@bell2353]

I am touch and respect the courage and strength you have. Choose love and forgiveness so your heart will have peace this world cannot give. GBY.

[@JeanHo-j6j]

I'm in tears when aunty Ros asked you if you can forgive her. This is truly the work of the Lord. Only He can turns every darkness into light if we decided to walk in His light. Amen. Thank you for sharing your personal story. Love you both much. Hugs.

[@angexu4361]

Auntie made a “bad” choice in her younger days but she bore the consequences with strength and courage and made the best of her life. Bravo.

[@hueychew8486]

Amazingly put. Could not have said it better❤❤❤

[@shinemuscats]

Mama Ros is an excellent example of being at peace, something that I’ve set to work on this year onwards. Not absorbing negative energy or feeding attention to other’s thoughts/opinions/judgements about you, instead, learning to be at peace within and everything will fall into place. Everyone’s journey can be vastly different, and Mama Ros’ sharing has truly inspired me! ❤

Such openness and bravery to talk about painful past and able to embrace it with grace and dignity. I applaud both mother and son for the sharing what true love is all about. God bless you both.

[@lydsa9662]

This conversation is so beautiful. It demonstrates the heart of our nurturing Father God who brings us beauty for ashes not because of what we do, but simply because He loves us for who we are. He delights in us. Thank you, Aiken, for sharing. The deep work you are doing is worth it. Press on. The road of healing you are taking may not always be applauded, but the work will lead to great contentment and the ability to love on people with your healing. Healed people, heal others.

Auntie you kena gaslighted when you are very green, nothing to be ashamed of. Stand proud, you walked out and did all by yourself! ❤

[@lubis1991]

Wait a minute... You only heard one side of the story and you think she has zero responsibility by participating KNOWINGLY in a man's extra-marital affair? What has the world come to? There's a difference between forgiving yourself for your mistakes and externalising for every decision you've made (i.e. it was not my fault, I was gaslit, it was him, it was his wife, it was his children). I don't think Auntie is trying to run away from her responsibilities, so why are you being such an apologist, and trying to absolve her of any real accountability? I truly am very very happy for Auntie for having accepted and forgiven herself. But if you were to ask me, or her for that matter, I'd still think she made a mistake. Like Aiken said, does it define her? No. But did she make a mistake? Yes. So please, don't be a revisionist.

[@anonymoususer8039]

You only heard one side of the story and alr start pointing out the aunty's mistake but didn't think that the guy should be held the MOST accountable? To compare a 18 year old woman and a 30+ man, YOU should blame the guy for being a fucking coward and not the other way round @@lubis1991

Unscripted, raw, genuine conversations. Really touch my heart with this open sharing.

[@alui5362]

oh and also thank God that your mom had the wisdom to keep you, despite all the hardship ahead. in social media today, we are fed a lot of lies about how abortion is the humane thing, and it's part of family planning, and doing it so that your baby doesn't suffer through life (siao). people need to hear stories like yours, so that they can start to see through the lies and brainwashing.

[@currymonster12345]

when the end result is a loving son from this (ill fated) union..if that was me, I would say everything that happened was worth my son. And yr mother's only "fault" was she was young and vulnerable and this man took advantage of that. She unable to part from him because she had already lost her mother and he became a big part of her years growing into an adult. Your mum is truly amazing

[@sathiyaperkash]

It takes so much vulnerability to share this, honouring Aunty Rose. Love and appreciate Aiken for sharing all these. Love you guys!

[@adelineho]

i feel so deeply for your mom, aiken. she’s done nothing but give her love and her money without asking for much in return. as much as reciprocal relationships are ‘endorsed’ as the proper way to live in our society, there is a ridiculously disproportionate burden of shame that is placed on emotionally/financially vulnerable women who fall into the wrong situations. of course she made a mistake but she was so young, so lost - he had so many resources at his disposal and gave her the illusion of stability and unconditional love. all in all, i think she’s incredibly strong and so beautiful inside and out. i’m sorry she grew up in an era where she felt like she had to suffer through it all in silence, but now here we are. be a good son yes! ❤️ thank you for sharing your story.

Aunty Ros and Aiken, your courage to share your story is really admirable.

And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours. - Isaiah 61:7”

Indeed mommy ros is one of the generous person I know too. I see her always giving offerings to church, paying for our meals, and what I love about her is she always give glory to God. She is a strong woman, encouraging, I've never seen her carried by emotions but always joyful.

Mama Ross's journey, her battles, and her unwavering faith are a testament to the transformative power of grace and forgiveness. Aiken, your journey with your mother, your growth into a remarkable individual, and your mission in Nepal are truly inspiring. It's clear that Mama Ross's deepest wish for you to walk closely with God has shaped you into the person you are today, and that’s something incredibly special. Your story is a beacon of hope and a reminder that love and faith can guide us through the most challenging times. To Mama Ross, your courage in sharing your story is a powerful act of love that will undoubtedly touch many hearts. And Aiken, your dedication to spreading love and the teachings of God to the children in Nepal is a beautiful continuation of your mother's legacy of faith. May this video encourage others to embrace their journeys, no matter how tough, with faith and love at their core. Thank you for opening your hearts to us, Aiken and Mama Ross. Your story is a beautiful reminder of the healing and transformative power of forgiveness, love, and faith. Keep shining your light and spreading the message of love and grace. 🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍

Aiken and Rose, this is an incredibly touching and moving conversation and story. Thank you so much, mother and son, for sharing it with the world. You are so courageous to share this “closet” and taboo topic. Best of all, you came out sincere and authentic, and honouring to each other! I thought of your amazing story as one of vulnerabilty exploited - causing guilt and shame - and now redeeming your rightful pride and honour by allowing yourselves to be vulnerable, standing up to fear, and receiving love in return. It is so wonderfully clear that with Love, you have turned your pain into healing of self and others! What a beautiful story also of the embracing and secure love of Our Father that is unconditional and everpresent in the absence of an inately needed human father’s love. May you always find the joy of doing what you do - spreading Love - and see lives transformed through the work you both do individually! 😊

EXACTLY. it doesn't matter what others think anymore! Auntie your attitude is AMAZING. Thank you for sharing and shedding the shame. More people need to do this too. ❤

[@shiyan3350]

Thank you for your share. It is truly meaningful. Aiken also summarized so well, that his dad was unguided by the feelings he harbored and unsure of his actions that he should have been wise enough to make the right decisions for himself (divorce, consider custody, only officiate with her or realize the true issue in his marriage and try to resolve it for a term and thank aunty for her friendship and bringing back the colours he lost in his life) due to absence of parental guidance and support. Auntie is only 18 when all these happened and society is multifaceted that requires experience to navigate. She also had a painful experience of losing her caring mother. She has a kind soul with so much guilt inside that doesn't fully belongs to her at such a young age. In modern day, the wife should have attended coupling counseling with her husband or give him an ultimatum instead of controlling things to her direction (especially the part where she just ask him to return home - that reflects what dynamics they had that lead to the husband being unhappy - she's the one refuse to let go for fear of the unknown and her own insecurity rather than resolving as a team in the marriage). You don't need to shame or cane another adult (a sit down talk would have given an evaluation for her to consider to work with her husband or divorce). Aunty also made a decisive decision to bring you up herself, I think that speaks volume of her character and strength. Aiken’s Emcee skills could at least bring a lesson that we are truly not defined by our past decisions and can live a better life. Not saying this cause you're a public figure but rather that's the fair way to deal with this kind of situation. Aunty gave good advice, just walk away let them resolve it themselves than being pulled into it. If he cannot figure it out on his own, there's no point to build a future with this kind of uncertainty.

Thank you Aiken for doing this & thank you Aunty Ros for being so bold to share and own to what she did. But her story is really proof that our bad decisions are not final. We can embrace the past and look forward and find peace with whatever has gone by. 🙆🏻‍♀️

I cried watching this video. I am very proud of you Aiken. You are such a strong guy.

Watching this video has made me cry, as I understand exactly how Ros felt back then and what she has been through. She has done a great job in nurturing and bringing up Aiken so well. I wish that I will be able to do the same for my daughter. And like Ros, my biggest wish is for my girl to walk closely with God and be obedient to Him.

I believe this was NOT an easy video to make. In view of CNY, I hope the new year will bring new beginnings and continuous prosperity for you Aiken and Aunty Ros ya. Take care bro. Lots of love still from your beloved Hippo 🦛

Hopefully your story helps other young women in a similar situation. It was brave of you to share. You are right, this type of situation doesn't benefit anyone. Aiken, though you were born in such circumstances it is good you are communicating with your dad too. In life sometimes we just have to accept certain things that happened and be thankful for what we have.

Both of you are so brave to talk about this. I salute you, Aunty Ros. All Glory to GOD on your repentance.
