On June 21, 2021, a mother took to a social media platform to share a disturbing story about her husband's behavior towards their young son.

According to the mother, her husband was a loving father to their daughter, who was born three years before their son. However, since the birth of their son, her husband's behavior has changed dramatically.

She claims that her husband has been blaming their son for any bad luck that he experiences and has even threatened to 'get rid' of the boy.

'My husband was a good father before our son was born,' she wrote. 'We had a daughter three years before we had our son, and my husband really loved her and always took really good care of her and would always be very close to her. He didn't give the same father's love to our son.'

The mother also shared that her husband's behavior has become increasingly abusive, with him yelling and shouting at their son, refusing to carry him, and even threatening to slap him.

'He yells and shouts at our son when he cries, he hasn't carried him even once, he literally screams at him and threatens to slap him whenever he makes a sound,' she wrote.

The mother also claimed that her husband has started to tell her that the child isn't his son and that he doesn't want him.

'He tells me to give my son up for adoption or somehow get rid of him,' she said. 'He always just tells me that he doesn't want our son to be in our house, and says that he doesn't care if he dies.'

Her post sparked a wave of concern from hundreds of people, with many suggesting she take both of her children to her parent's house for their safety and others encouraging her to seek professional help for her husband.
