My wife has not been the best of mothers since our daughter was born 8 years ago. She has neglected our daughter for years leaving me with the bulk of childcare etc
I don’t really want to go into more details just trying to explain my situation now
Our relationship is broken and I don’t think it can be fixed, I’ve tried everything
Suddenly she has turned into super mom
Which I have no problems if it was genuine
But she seems to be doing this to get at me
When my daughter sits next to me, she encourages my daughter to sit next to her rather showing her something or offering her something
My wife is now always kissing and cuddling my daughter (again I have no problem with this) but it seems like she does this when I’m doing something with my daughter.
My wife is normally bossy and snappy, now she will not discipline my daughter at all, let’s everything go. Again this is not her normal character
When it’s time for bed, she says it’s up to dad if you can stay up or not
What is worse my daughter tries to please my wife! To get her love, approval,
So my daughter has now also changed
She doesn’t want to play/interact with me.
When my wife is around
When my wife is not here she is a different happy child no springs attached
Any advice how to get through lockdown would be appreciated. I’m feeling really depressed with the situation. How can I stop this?
