Woman Claps Back at Cousin’s Insults: Will His Kids Abandon Him?

Their relationship has always been rocky due to his homophobic, misogynistic behavior and the way he treats his wife. Despite his own shortcomings, he constantly belittles her lifestyle choices, calling her an ‘old maid’ and insisting she should focus on getting married and having children. But when he crosses a line, she fires back with a powerful response that leaves him speechless.
