Life can throw some unexpected curveballs, and how we handle them says a lot about our character. One man’s wife was in a serious car accident, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. While they both adjusted to their new lives and managed parenthood, the man’s brother repeatedly suggested he leave his wife. Finally, the man had enough and called out his brother’s own parenting failures.
