When my husband, Danny, gave me a scary ultimatum about having a son, he didn’t expect me to stand up for myself and our children. Danny, a devoted father and successful businessman, has always provided well for our family, allowing me to be a stay-at-home mother to our five daughters.
His dream of having a son turned into demands and threats. One night, Danny insisted we needed a sixth child. Our argument escalated until he hinted at divorce. I decided to show him what it meant to raise five children alone. The next morning, I left for my late mother’s country house, turning off my phone. Through our home’s surveillance cameras, I watched as Danny struggled with breakfast, the kids refusing to get dressed, and the house turning into chaos. By the end of the second day, Danny was desperate, sending messages begging me to come home.
When I returned, he apologized, promising not to pressure me about having a son and to spend more time with the family. From that day on, he kept his promise, becoming more involved and appreciating the family we already had.
