When I returned home after three days of leaving my two-year-old daughter with my husband, I was appalled at what he had done to her.
My supervisor contacted me one day and informed me that I had to leave for a business trip that weekend.
My first thought was the most important one: who would look after my daughter? My mom had to go to the doctor. Another city is where my mother-in-law resides. I was forced to leave my daughter in the care of my husband.
Even though he is typically a loving and supportive father, my husband had never spent more than a few hours by himself with the child. However, he immediately consented.
– “She is also my daughter.”
I had no choice but to agree.
Everything went well on Friday morning. After saying farewell with a kiss, I gave my husband another explanation of when and how to feed the baby and when to put her to bed. With a tense smile, he gave me a hug and just said:
– “Don’t worry, everything will be alright!”
However, I was anxious for the entire three days. My hubby didn’t pick up when I called him numerous times. I attempted to reassure myself by telling myself that since he was a decent man and a good father, everything must be alright.
I was appalled to discover what my spouse had done to our daughter while I was away.
There was nobody in the flat. There was silence, no laughter, no toys. There was a note on the table:
“I can no longer live like this, and this monster is with your mother.” My attorney will get in touch with you.
My hands shaking, I dialed my mom. She informed me what had happened right away. Only the first day was handled by my husband. He played with her, fed her, and even made jokes with her.
Then his nerves failed him. He left her alone, stopped cooking, and remained silent as she sobbed. He took the infant on the third day, took her to my mother, and then vanished.
As I sat there, I couldn’t figure out how. How could he be so cruel to his own child?
We are currently divorced. There is no communication between my daughter and her father. She has me and my family, so maybe it’s not required.
What do you think, mothers? Why do men sometimes give up so readily, as though being a parent is a burden that only women must bear?
