Lately, my husband had become distant—quiet, tired, and easily irritated. He came home late with vague explanations, barely acknowledging me or our two-year-old daughter, Mia. What confused me most was how he suddenly avoided her during the week, yet insisted on caring for her alone on weekends when I worked. After those weekends, Mia seemed withdrawn, tearful, and refused to go near her father. Fear began to grow in my heart, and I couldn’t ignore my intuition any longer.
