He’s been happily married for seven years, raising three wonderful children—or at least, that’s how it appears from the outside. Behind closed doors, however, his wife has forbidden him from getting close to his own kids. What could drive a mother to such extremes?
A father of three turned to Reddit to share his story and ask for advice.
The man wrote, “My wife (31f) and I (32m) have been together since college, and we’ve been married for seven years. We have three children together, and I am sick of either having to step back and let her raise the kids almost as a single mom or fight with her because I did something with our children—even something as simple as feeding them. But that’s where I’m at.
She wasn’t like this when our oldest was born. It started when she was pregnant with our twins. She would always tell me to tidy up or run some errands whenever I wanted to spend time with our child. Then she’d keep him by her side the entire day, or she’d go off somewhere if I suggested we all spend the day together and focus on our oldest. But when the twins came, it got worse.”
