My husband dislikes our 5yo son
Lately, my heart has been heavy. My husband has never truly bonded with our son. Since birth, he's been frustrated—over crying spells, emotional outbursts, picky eating, and what he sees as a pessimistic spirit. Meanwhile, he dotes endlessly on our younger daughter.It all boiled over when our son, just five years old, complained about dinner. My husband was crushed. Later that night, he told me, plainly and painfully, that he doesn’t love our son and has lost hope.Hearing that broke me. I see a bright, sweet, normal little boy. I believe my husband’s expectations are crushing both of them. I suggested therapy, but he refuses, convinced that only our son needs to change.I’m stuck between heartbreak and helplessness. Should I intervene more, or step back and let their relationship unfold on its own terms?If you've ever faced something similar, I would love to hear your story. 💔#ParentingStruggles #FamilyDynamics #HealingTogether #EmotionalHealth #ParentChildRelationships #Parenting
