My husband ᴅɪᴇᴅ abruptly when our kid was six. A year later, I came upon his documents from when he was in a psychiatric facility for depression.
In the notes, I discovered a worrisome detail: the therapist stated that my husband never referred to our daughter by name, but rather as “the child.” The notes also stated that my husband told the therapist that he would not mind if I ᴅɪᴠᴏʀᴄᴇᴅ him and took full custody.
