I watched in shock as my husband’s demeanor shifted. He set his phone down and approached our daughter with a stern expression, his tone suddenly cold and harsh. Confused and frightened, she stepped back, her small frame trembling as he raised his voice. Instead of comforting her, he seemed more frustrated, gesturing angrily at something she clearly didn’t understand. Then, to my horror, he grabbed her arm roughly, pulling her closer as she whimpered and tried to pull away.
This wasn’t the man I married. Seeing our daughter’s fear broke my heart. He didn’t hit her, but the emotional strain was obvious. I wondered what had caused this change—stress, hidden issues, or something deeper? Despite brief moments of guilt on his face, the damage was clear. I knew I had to protect her while also seeking answers. With a heavy heart, I reached out to a family counselor, determined to ensure her safety and uncover the truth behind his behavior.
