Maggie Wilson Tells Parents: 'Raise Them To Be Good And Be Someone They Can Be Proud Of'

Former beauty queen and mom of one Maggie Wilson has emphasized the crucial role parents play in raising responsible adults. 

In an Instagram post on June 15, three days before Father's Day, the 34-year-old former beauty queen and model called on parents to reflect on their parenting. "Teach your sons how to be compassionate, respectful, honest, accountable, and kind. Teach them how to communicate. Teach them to be real men so their future partners can feel safe. Raise them to be good and be someone they can be proud of."

Maggie has been separated from her 11-year-old son, Connor, due to her estranged husband, Victor Consunji, allegedly blocking her from seeing and communicating with him for almost a year now. 

Victor and Maggie announced their split in September 2021, after 10 years of marriage. Since then, the two have filed cases against each other.

She said, "Having spent time with someone who always says he is not ready for children because he feels deep accountability and responsibility for their future. That he doesn't feel the need to rush and he will only have them once he is mature enough has made me think and look deeper."

Maggie maintained, "I believe in resolving issues before bringing another child into this world. I will only think about getting married again once the conflict is settled. I refuse until there is peace."

On Mother's Day, Maggie shared a poignant video, where she said she looks forward to the day that they will be together again.

"I refuse to put my son through more trauma. He doesn't deserve that. I refuse to have him adapt without proper communication. That is simply unfair to a child. I want my son to feel safe. To feel loved and to be able to love, feel and speak without fear."

Maggie puts it firmly, "No child should ever be brainwashed to fit someone else's motive or made to adjust because adults can't communicate and resolve their trauma and conflict."

In April, Victor shared on Instagram a photo of him and his rumored girlfriend, Rachel Carrasco, with a baby lying on his tummy. While Victor seems to have moved on with his new family, Maggie stated that she will wait for the right time to build her own family and set things right.

 "Until those lines are open, I will patiently wait for when that day comes, when things are finally calm, and when people choose kindness. I will wait, no matter how long it takes; even if it means that I will not be able to have another child, then so be it. I still believe in love. I love, love. And one day, everything will fall into place," she said. 

Netizens support Maggie

Netizens at the comment section applaud Maggie for being a strong mom. One user said, "Thank you for being a good mom and for understanding that children go through their early traumas mainly because of their parents’ issues."

She added, "Unfortunately, di naiisip yun ng mga iba and focus their decisions on their wants without thinking anong effect nun sa bata and eventually will also affect how they deal with their own relationships because of what they witnessed or saw from their parents."

Another meanwhile said, "As a single mom with almost the same age as her son, this hurts me. Praying for all struggling single moms out there. We are superheroes and kudos to us all!"

Nevertheless, her supporters wish that tables will turn, and Maggie will be reunited with Connor soon. "Hope co-parenting and openness for both parties can be possible!"
