Lack of Parental Involvement in child Growth
Hello,
My marriage was arranged, and it's been two years since then. I have a son who is one and a half years old. Shortly after our marriage, my husband began demanding access to my phone to scrutinize my WhatsApp conversations, often misinterpreting innocent messages and suspecting me of communicating with other men. He also insisted on controlling our finances, asking me to hand over my entire salary except for a nominal amount. During my pregnancy, my mother-in-law accused me of poisoning their food, and she frequently belittled me by reminding me of the shelter and food they provided, despite my financial contributions. My husband refuses to register our marriage, citing vague reasons and insisting on a two-year waiting period. He treats my parents disrespectfully, verbally abusing them whenever they speak up in my defense. Whenever they visit, he rudely dismisses them, threatening to physically eject them from our home. Fed up with the constant mistreatment, I left his house without informing him during my pregnancy and sought refuge at my maternal home. He showed no concern for my well-being, failing to even inquire about the birth of our child. After a year, I reached out to him to discuss our future, only to be met with blame and resentment. He demanded I return to him, expressing regret for missing the birth of our child but placing the burden of reconciliation solely on me. His stubbornness is evident in his insistence that everything should happen according to his desires, always expecting me to be the one to approach him with any concerns or issues.
