I found him covered in red paint, shaking, while my<\/p>\n<p>wife sat nearby, glued to her iPad. Frustrated, I asked why she hadn\u2019t helped, but she said she tried three times. Something felt<\/p>\n<p>off I realized our family was struggling in silence.<\/p>\n<p>I cleaned up our son and saw the mess: paint spilled everywhere, and he\u2019d wet himself. When I asked why Mommy hadn\u2019t<\/p>\n<p>checked on him, he whispered, \u201cNobody checked on me.\u201d My heart sank. I carried him to the bathroom, feeling the weight of<\/p>\n<p>how alone and scared he\u2019d been, while my wife stayed glued to her screen.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, I left with my son and called my mother-in-law for help. After talking, she revealed my wife was suffering from<\/p>\n<p>depression overwhelmed by motherhood and losing herself. She had agreed to see a therapist, but it would take time and<\/p>\n<p>support. I realized my anger had blinded me to what she was truly going through.<\/p>\n<p>Slowly, things started to improve. My wife began therapy and painting again, reconnecting with herself. Her bond with our son<\/p>\n<p>grew stronger, and the distance between them faded. Our family wasn\u2019t perfect, but together,<\/p>\n<p>we began healing one small step at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One night, I hurried out of the shower after hearing my 3-year-old crying.
