When I returned to work, I believed my husband Daniel was thriving as a stay-at-home dad—until his mother revealed she was secretly
doing everything. Worse, Daniel had lied, claiming I pressured him into quitting his job. Instead of confronting him, I teamed up
with his mom: she “got sick” and stopped helping. Left alone, Daniel quickly fell apart, overwhelmed by the real demands of parenting.
After hitting rock bottom, he confessed everything. It was tough, but it led us to rebuild trust, communicate honestly, and truly share the load.
