My Wife Has ADHD, Neglects Our Kids, And Humiliated Me On Father's Day. After Much Consideration, I’ve Decided To Pursue A Divorce.

The story revolves around a 43-year-old husband, who has been diligently working to support his family consisting of his 38-year-old wife, their two young children (ages 3 and 5), and his mother-in-law. Despite his efforts, including obtaining multiple degrees and managing two jobs at times, the husband feels increasingly neglected and humiliated by his wife's behavior. His wife, who suffers from ADHD and possibly other mental health issues like postpartum depression, has largely withdrawn from responsibilities at home, despite the husband's considerable support and effort to provide for the family.

The husband's routine involves extensive daily tasks starting early in the morning, managing household finances, and taking care of most household chores and bills. Despite his demanding schedule and efforts to support his wife emotionally, she consistently minimizes his challenges and claims her own struggles are more significant. She has neglected her career to be a stay-at-home mother but shows minimal interest in managing household responsibilities efficiently, often starting her day late and spending time on her phone or shopping online.

Tensions in their marriage escalate when the wife humiliates the husband during a family Father's Day celebration, publicly belittling his contributions as a father and husband. This incident leads to the husband's decision to pursue a divorce, as he feels emotionally neglected and unappreciated despite his efforts to maintain their family unit.

Following their decision to seek marriage counseling, the sessions only exacerbate their differences, with the wife blaming the husband for her unhappiness and refusing to acknowledge or address her own mental health issues. The husband, feeling unsupported and emotionally drained, decides to proceed with divorce proceedings, seeking custody of their children and ensuring financial stability for their upbringing.

The husband expresses his determination to protect his children from any harm and continue supporting his mother-in-law through her medical treatments, despite the impending divorce. He prepares for a challenging legal process but remains committed to achieving a clean and fair resolution.
