My appreciation for single mums has gone up 10x since I had my son. I haven’t got the foggiest idea how someone is supposed to do all of this by themselves. My hatred for deadbeat dads has also gone up 10x
BTW ICE is raping children in custody in texas then deporting the newborns after they're born. These children are not pregnant before entering ICE detention.
my brother-in-law spent three years subtly dropping hints at family dinners that my sister was "broken" because they hadn't been able to get pregnant.
he’d make passive-aggressive comments about her diet, her age, and how his family has "strong genes" so the issue obviously wasn't on his side.
he even convinced his mom to send my sister holistic fertility teas.
she finally forced him to go to a clinic and get a sperm analysis done.
the clinic called with the results on a Tuesday morning while he was in a work meeting, so she took the call.
the doctor told her he had a zero sperm count due to a childhood medical issue and it was physically impossible for him to ever conceive naturally.
she looked at the paperwork and realized the date on the file… he had actually gone to a different clinic and gotten this exact same diagnosis back in 2023, before they even got married.
this man literally let his entire family bully and humiliate his wife for three years for being "barren" just because he was too insecure to admit his own body didn't work.
she filed for divorce the same day.
In my opinion, it's because in the "real world", - so where what matters is financial, political or social power, a lot of them have none. The only place they have any power they can wield, is at home, and they use the rage of that irrelevance to punish their wives.
