A Father’s Dilemma

James stared at the family photo on the wall, wondering how things had gone so wrong. His wife, Sarah, adored their two-year-old son, Liam, but seemed cold and distant toward their nine-month-old daughter, Emma.

When he confronted her, Sarah admitted, “Life was perfect with just one child. I never wanted her.” James was heartbroken. He tried to help her bond with Emma, but Sarah’s attitude only worsened. One day, she said, “Maybe you should just adopt her out if you care so much.”

James couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Torn between staying in a marriage filled with resentment or protecting his children’s happiness, he knew a decision had to be made. That night, as he held Emma, he whispered, “I’ll never let you feel unloved.”

James resolved to fight for both his children, no matter how difficult the path ahead might be.
