This tale of a husband’s misplaced priorities, a mother’s pain and the struggle for attention is a rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you questioning where the line between parental duties and spousal responsibilities should be drawn.

A Tale of Pain, Priorities, and Parenting

In the midst of a painful kidney stone attack, a mother of three finds herself at the mercy of her husband’s priorities. While she lies in the hospital, he chooses their daughter’s story time over her wellbeing. The emotional turmoil escalates as the husband remains oblivious to his wife’s distress for 15 hours, causing a rift in their relationship. Despite offers of help from friends and family, he stubbornly refuses, adding fuel to the fire. This is a tale that will leave you wondering – where should the line between parental duties and spousal responsibilities be drawn?
