Imagine being a father and noticing that your wife treats your daughter differently than your sons. You've always encouraged a healthy mother-daughter relationship, but something seems off. After years of observing the unequal treatment, you finally decide to confront your wife. But instead of addressing the issue, she accuses you of favoritism and makes you sleep on the couch. 😓 Now, the family is on the brink of falling apart, and you're left wondering if you're the one at fault. This is the story of one dad's struggle to bring balance to his family.
