Get ready for a story of how one man let patriarchal ideas take over our marriage, turning it into a battlefield of demands and orders. When our son began mimicking his behavior, I knew I had to take drastic action! My story will likely leave you shocked and angry, but trust me, the ending is worth the journey! Read on!
Hi, everyone! My name is Samantha, and I’m here to share a story that I hope will inspire women—whether married or not. I’m a steamfitter and have worked my way into a supervisory role, which comes with excellent incentives and bonuses. On top of that, I earn over $100 an hour. The downside? It means I often have to work out of town, but I only started doing that when our son, Terry, was old enough to manage at home under my husband’s care.
Thanks to my income, we’ve built a comfortable retirement fund and allowed ourselves to splurge on our family. Everything seemed perfect between my husband, Ben, and me—at least, for a while. But a few years ago, things started to change. I noticed Ben’s attitude shift, and I couldn’t help but think it was the influence of his work environment. He worked with a group of men who viewed women as nothing more than household servants.
