The Silent Scream Behind Closed Doors

By Mary Carter Writer

My relative lives a daily nightmare that few can imagine.

Every morning, her husband’s alarm echoes through their apartment at four in the morning, waking the entire household.

While he repeatedly hits the snooze button, she’s the one who gets up to soothe the baby and tend to their older child’s needs.

Their two-bedroom apartment has become a prison for her.

Every corner demands attention, every surface needs cleaning.

It’s not just the kids’ mess that consumes her, but the glaring incompetence of a 34-year-old man who seems incapable of contributing to household chores.

She tells me that when her husband returns, there’s no moment of peace. Instead of asking about her day, she’s greeted with unwanted sexual advances.

She begs him to do basic tasks like taking out the trash or emptying the dishwasher, things any adult should do without being reminded.
