Children are not for everyone.
This isn’t meant to be an insult. After all, not everyone wishes to have children, and forcing them to do so is never a good idea. You will not only ruin that person’s life but also the life of the child who did nothing wrong. However, many people do not understand this and impose the ideal of the “perfect family” on others, which only serves to harm everyone. Those who claim that children are the best gift in the world or something similar fail to recognize that not everyone is destined to be a parent. It’s simply not in the cards for some, and that’s perfectly fine.
It makes you no less of a family if you choose not to have children. At the end of the day, we should do what is best for us, not what society says is “normal.” Because if you do listen to others, you may find yourself in a situation similar to this one, which is simply tragic. I’m not sure what motivated this woman to have a child in the first place, because it’s clear she didn’t want any. And if she thought she would ‘grow out of it,’ she was wrong. Not only is her son in pain, but her relationship with her husband is also deteriorating.

They didn’t want kids at the start but ended up having a son.
Things were going well until Covid happened and they got stuck in lockdown.
He decided to talk to her about her behaviour but she refused any help.
He tried to give her more time but that wasn’t working either.
He once again made it clear that she needs to go to therapy.
However, she refused once again claiming that she is fine the way she is.
So he left her and took his son with him.
She hasn’t even tried to contact him and that is all we know for now.
This is truly a no-win situation. Because, while I sympathize with the woman, she is also not seeking therapy or making any changes. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with her because some people simply don’t want children, but she has one now and must learn to accept it. But it’s clear that she thinks she’s fine the way she is and doesn’t mind emotionally hurting her son. He may be young, but he can sense something is wrong. A child discovering that their parent does not love them can have long-term consequences, so I am relieved that her husband has decided to divorce her.
Apparently, this is pretty common which is always sad to see.
I am pretty sure, she doesn’t want custody anyway.
Atleast this kid has a father who loves him.
Kids do see a lot more than adults give them credit for.
Telling that to a kid just sounds horrible.
This commenter is right on the money.
It might be better if she vanishes from his life.
Therapy might not fix everything but it is a great first step.
What are your thoughts on the situation as a whole? Do you believe there is a reason she refuses to attend therapy? Have you ever been in a situation like this before? What did you do in that case?
