My Therapy Client Is Angry His Wife Won’t Let Him Take Care of Their Son and I Was Shocked When I Found out Why — Story of the Day

Psychologist Kate often handles challenging relationships, but Colin’s case pushes her boundaries. When Colin arrives, he reveals deep issues: his wife, Emily, won’t let him care for their newborn and dismisses his role as a father. “She insists he’s only hers,” Colin says, his pain evident.Image 1

Colin’s anger flares when he learns Emily’s friend, Toby, was present at the birth instead of his sister. “I saw Toby comforting my wife during contractions,” Colin reports. Emily, however, defends her actions, citing Colin’s priority of his mother over her during labor. “He was helping his ex-girlfriend move,” Emily claims.Image 2

Seeing discrepancies in Colin’s story, Kate decides to meet Emily directly. Emily reveals her distrust of Colin, influenced by his past actions and unreliable behavior. “I don’t trust him with our son,” Emily confides.

Moved by Emily’s situation, Kate offers to help her escape. “You can’t raise a child in such conditions,” Kate asserts. Emily’s belongings are soon in Kate’s car, signaling a new start. Kate reflects on the importance of her role: “This is why I became a psychologist—to help people find a better path.”
