Mother in law actress Elizabeth Wanjiru known for her stage name Charity Mwamba has shared how, her failed marriage to Ugandan husband, Shem Bageine took a toll on her.

Speaking during an interview on Youtube, the mother of three revealed that she suffered depression and was almost left homeless.

In a well-put narration, the two met at Makerere University in Uganda and got married while still studying.

  "He is younger than me by two years but he was very brilliant. We met while acting at Makerere University, we got married as students we were later blessed with two girls and a boy," she stated.

Years later, their union hit rocks and the pair split with Shem taking off with the three children but Charity says she was left helpless since he was a very influential person and he still is.

"It was not easy, I suffered depression after he took my kids from me. He was very influential and I could not follow up to get the kids," she noted.

Although the two are not together, Charity says they are not officially divorced and she still rocks her wedding ring.

"We have never officially divorced, I still rock my wedding ring. There were so many bad things happening at the time so we did not have time to focus on getting a divorce. For a divorce to go through both people must be present and he was not."

Further, Charity says she was not down for divorce since the husband was the one living with the kids.

In conclusion, the actress said when auctioneers were sent to take her property she did not have enough money to pay them.

Instead, she sought help from her pastor who connected her to a lawyer and she later won the case to keep her house after 30 years.

"He sold our matrimonial home and sent people to come to throw me out. They wanted to auction my property. I could not pay the auctioneers so I asked for help from a pastor friend who connected me to some lawyers."

"The case dragged on for 30 years and I finally won the case. The house is now mine," she said in conclusion.
