Hi I am a father struggling with parenting a 2 1/2 year old girl. my wife does not allow me to do anything with my daughter and is extremely controlling, to the point I am contemplating divorce. I feel like I am not being allowed to be a dad, and it probably doesn't help we are in an interfaith marriage where I have not been allowed to share my religious views with my daughter. Just wondering if there is any support anyone can recommend for fathers. I'm feeling very low at the moment and afraid if I pursue divorce I will lose contact with my daughter and be left with nothing
hi, sorry to hear your having a difficult time. could it be that she is just being very protective of child, due to tender age?
if you think there are serious issues, you could both try couples counselling?
