A Facebook post by a user identified as Lexien Naturals has triggered a wave of emotional testimonies from Kenyans, opening up a rare public conversation about conflict and cruelty within families.
In the post, Lexien Naturals invited followers to share personal experiences of what was described as “family wickedness.”
The call resonated widely, with hundreds of users responding in the comment section.
Many shared accounts of betrayal by close relatives, emotional abuse, inheritance disputes, and long-standing family divisions.
Several commenters said they had been undermined by siblings or marginalised by parents, often in silence.
Some described being denied education opportunities, excluded from family businesses, or blamed for conflicts they did not cause.

Others said their pain was routinely dismissed in the name of family unity, leaving them isolated.
A common thread in the testimonies was the misuse of authority within families.
Some users alleged that elders or financially powerful relatives used culture, religion, or tradition to justify control and unfair treatment.
Those who spoke out, they said, were labelled disrespectful or ungrateful.
The discussion also exposed generational differences. Younger commenters questioned long-held expectations of silence and loyalty, while others cautioned against airing family matters online, arguing that such issues should be handled privately.
The debate reflected a broader national shift in how Kenyans view family accountability and personal boundaries.
While the testimonies remain personal and unverified, the scale and consistency of the responses suggest the issue resonates deeply.
Facebook provided a platform where users could speak openly, often anonymously, without immediate fear of family backlash.
