At night, I noticed that my husband was in the room with our one-month-old baby, even though he had just left the house: I went into the nursery and saw something terrifying... 😱😱
My husband and I had recently become parents. Our firstborn completely turned our lives upside down. The first few weeks felt like something out of a movie — exhausting, but joyful. I couldn’t take my eyes off my husband and the tenderness with which he held our son. He seemed like the perfect father.
But something began to change. At first, it was small things — he started coming home later from work, grew irritable, gave short answers. Every evening, as soon as Artyom fell asleep, he asked for “an hour to himself.” He’d shut himself in his study or leave without explaining where he was going.
It hurt. I thought maybe he was just tired, or maybe he had postpartum depression — fathers go through a lot too. I gave him space. But everything changed yesterday.
Our son woke up crying in the middle of the night. I was about to go into the room when I instinctively glanced at the baby monitor. The camera showed that he had simply dropped his pacifier and was already calming down. But suddenly... I noticed movement in the corner of the screen.
I froze. My husband was in the frame. He was standing in the dim light, motionless, staring at the crib. But… he had just left the house. I heard the front door close!
My breath caught. I jumped up and ran to the nursery. What I saw there horrified me 😱😢 Read more in Comment or Most relevant -> All comments 👇
