Husband’s love for adopted daughter dies after having his own child
A couple who struggled with infertility adopted a daughter named Sophie. After adopting Sophie, the couple found out they were pregnant and excitedly welcomed another daughter named Amy. However, the father’s behavior toward Sophie changed drastically after Amy was born, and he admitted to his wife that his love for Sophie had “dimmed.”
The wife was horrified and called him a terrible person for treating one child as a trial for the other. The father left the house and hasn’t returned, leaving the wife worried. Divorce is now likely on the horizon.
The sudden loss of a parent’s love can have a profound impact on a child, and it is heartbreaking to see the consequences of prioritizing one child over another. The next steps for this family in this situation are uncertain, but what is clear is the importance of treating all children with love and care, regardless of how they came into the family.
