Once upon a time, there was a man who was married twice. His first wife divorced him because of his violence, but he was able to remarry soon after to another woman with a child. Now, he was looking for a third wife.
The man’s current wife also went through a divorce once, and her toddler son was suddenly given a new father. The child was too young to understand what was happening, but his mother was determined to give him a happy and stable home.
The man’s smartphone sat in the middle of his desk, surrounded by mugs, donut halves, tissue paper, and permanent marker pens. A photo of his smiling toddler son was displayed as the wallpaper.
The man’s friends and family were worried about him. They knew that he had a history of violence, and they feared that he was looking for a new wife to abuse. They tried to talk to him about it, but he refused to listen.
One day, the man’s current wife confronted him about his behavior. She told him that she knew he was looking for another wife, and she warned him that she would leave him if he didn’t change his ways.
The man was furious. He started yelling at his wife and accusing her of being paranoid. But she stood her ground. She told him that she loved him, but that she would not tolerate his abuse any longer.
The man realized that he was about to lose the only two people who loved him unconditionally. He knew that he had to change. He promised his wife that he would never hurt her or their son again.
The man started going to therapy to deal with his anger issues. He also joined a support group for men who have been violent in the past. He was determined to become a better person for his wife and son.
It took time and effort, but the man eventually changed his ways. He became a loving and supportive husband and father. He learned how to manage his anger in a healthy way, and he became a role model for his son.
The man never found a third wife. He realized that he already had the perfect family. He was grateful for his wife and son’s love and support, and he was determined to cherish them for the rest of his life.
Family life requires community support
The man’s story is a reminder that family life is not always easy. There are times when we all need support from others. If you are struggling, please reach out to your friends, family, or community for help. You are not alone.
