Accused of Abuse, Time to Leave?
Our 53-year-old dad has been struggling with his wife’s parenting style for years, leading to their kids becoming entitled brats. But when his wife goes on a work trip, he’s left in charge, and things escalate quickly. After making a mess in the kitchen, his daughter Laura is asked to clean up, and dad takes away her phone until she does.

Our protagonist is left heartbroken and confused, wondering if it’s time to leave his wife after she crossed this line. As he seeks advice from family and online strangers, he’s forced to confront the reality of his situation and decide if it’s worth staying in a marriage that’s causing so much pain.
