Overdosing and ending up in the hospital for it should be plenty of evidence to get OP full custody tbh

[@Lavealikesreading]

Eh wouldn't be too sure about that.

[@average-art3222]

​@@Lavealikesreading well, how different is it in Canada? I mean, is it that different there to get full custody?

[@Lavealikesreading]

@@average-art3222 how would I know I'm not from Canada? But doesn't really matter in what western country you live most will give more grace to the mother. They did in my case or they wouldn't have taken so long to make a decision. (I'm from Germany btw but I've heard similar stories from other countries too) women are child carers so women get the children.

[@SpiderSplicer135]

Its Canada, if a possibility of an outcome that is completely moronic can happen it will

[@jjnix9517]

​@@average-art3222as far as I've heard like in Europe it's nearly impossible for a man to get custody before the wife literally kills a child.

[@A.bugs_artist]

It’s crazy that all of this happened because she was jealous you complimented your sons cooking

[@Blu3_B3rry_465]

FR

[@RajKumar-xq6dz]

@Blu3_B3rry_465 what really bothers me is the FACT THAT SHE, A FULLY GROWN ADULT IS JEALOUS OF AN F - ING 12 YEAR OLD

[@volleyball_girl-n4l]

Exactly

[@Evel_27]

Fr that’s just crazy that’s her own son

[@justanothergamer6167]

Its so childish, I agree

[@Silvermooshroom]

She’s literally abusive. And also SO stupid. You’re jealous because your husband complimented your KID instead of you? A literal CHILD? That’s immature behaviour at its finest. She’s punishing her kid because her husband tried to encourage him. That’s abusive.

[@silvermoon9186]

first I want to say I like your username and secondly I fully agree with you. I can't imagine being jealous of my own kid from a compliment. If anything I would have been the one to correct my daughter as the mom in that situation.

[@princesslulu5795]

She sounds absolutely pathetic

[@argates6507]

It's pretty clear that for some reason, the wife's ego is caught up in her cooking. There's a reason why she gatekept the kitchen and didn't want OP to cook. The idea that her son could ever replace her on her "home turf" sent her over the edge. She is NOT a healthy woman.

[@anotherloser2858]

Wtf parents should gush about their kids and their efforts when they work so hard- way more than adults. Kiddos are still building up their confidence in themselves and need that extra pat on the back to know they're doing well.

[@Mango_Sunrise]

Took me a sec lol, thought you were yelling at the father for encouraging his son.

[@silvermoon9186]

Agreed. I even encouraged my niece just like my eldest brother did for me when I was learning to draw. I showed her how to draw like he did for me and really bonded with her over that. I gush about my god kids and my niece and great nephew. I don't have kids of my own but I can't imagine being jealous of my own child.

[@Gorgeous_13swiftie]

You should definitely try get full/major custody , she’s had a recent drug overdose , how is that not warrant as a threat to her children . If she did it around the children …

[@Khloe-n5q7o]

Your wife is a child if she can’t work past her own insecurities then this problem will never be solved.She is a jealous narcissist,and she is not willing to solve this issue.This is grounds for divorce.

[@mviola2707]

Is overdosing not enough threat to the kids?

[@lenax9798]

Nope because the court will argue that the children didnt witness it not were affected so its not a physical or mental danger to them

[@jjnix9517]

The entire legal system is rigged against men, never assume something that would destroy a man's case would affect a woman's at all.

[@Kittinlil]

Wow, OP, if you’re here, you are not wrong. Any form of favoritism from a parent toward one child over another is a form of abuse, especially when it’s so blatant. You did nothing wrong; you were simply encouraging your son's interest in cooking alongside your wife, hoping he would continue to spend quality time with her. The fact that she became so jealous of your son's talent is just sad. It’s beyond vindictive that she went so far as to teach your daughter to mock him and belittle his cooking. Her sudden shift from sharing this time with him to telling him it’s not a man's place to cook is unacceptable-some of the most famous chefs in the world are men. She is being cruel and malicious, and you were right to want her out of the home and away from both children, as her actions were clearly having a profoundly negative impact on them. The fact that she allowed a friend to influence her so negatively while away from you all, combined with her bender, indicates severe emotional and mental issues. It is not safe for the children to be exposed to her behavior. The culmination of her bender ending in her cheating on you and landing in the hospital from an overdose further confirms her instability. Refusing to get help and accept accountability is a valid reason for divorce. Your focus should be on the well-being of yourself and, especially, your children.

[@srp-07_]

After everything, if she could nonchalantly cheat she can the same way see and sign the papers for divorce.

[@ChaoticGoats]

Okay so I have thoughts 1 the guy isn’t in the wrong here by any metric you want to encourage interests so that it becomes habits. Good on him for trying to make cooking into a happy hobby instead of a chore that needs to be done. 2nd the women is acting like a jealous prick to her own child. Her son didn’t deserve that. Then doing hard substances and overdosing? Are you kidding me. On top of that cheating 3rd what do you mean you don’t have evidence she’s a threat. Her medical record of overdosing should be damning enough 4th if this behavior is new then her friends and family are 100% the ones at fault and should also be looked into legally. Behaviors are learned they don’t just crop up without anything. 5th the fact this all started cause of complimenting a LITERAL CHILD FOR COOKING. Like that’s cruel for so many reason taking it out on a child and then doubling down to hell. I doubt she ever apologized

[@dev-L0]

You could accurately file for emergency custody if you have screenshots of her medical record and her OD trip

[@Godsown..]

Op could actually add the fact that his wife overdosed on drugs recently so having the kids with her isn’t safe for them

[@Random_yshorts]

Imagine getting mad at your little gen alpha kid for cooking good and getting you ego hurt because he has more talent couldn’t be me

[@JeromeAdams-h9l]

Exactly 😭

[@Adam23164]

She is very childish who is jealous of 12 yo

[@icygummybear7924]

When my little girl (3) helps me cook, i praise tf out of her. It's fun, keeps her out of stuff, gets her away from the ipad she was gifted, and is a life skill that everyone should know. Same goes for any other chores she mirrors me doing. She has her own cleaning set (though she prefers the real thing) because she LOVES to help, and we can't always just give it to her. Kids learning essential life skills should be fun and rewarded, not the cause of fights and jealousy.

[@ruihaharawira369]

It’s obvious she’s just jealous she doesn’t appreciate the things that her son has been doing in the kitchen

[@clarkabeast8136]

This is tragically horrific. All of this have to happen all because you commented about your son’s cooking and that offended your wife. No offense but she is a Karen.

[@debrahatley4720]

Some of the best chefs are male. One example is Chef Ramsey.

[@Rose-ng7jx]

NOOOOOOO! I NEED THE FULL STORY!

[@Gio-_advanture]

This is the most petty thing ever like how can u be this jealous

[@pinowlgi4946]

We sure the mom doesnt have a tumor? Sounds like this was a sudden shift in personality and the last story i saw with that the perosn had a brain tumor. Wild stuff if true

[@ShivangiKrishna]

Even I think it’s too fishy that a normal human would make such unexpected choices for their character, and continue to do so till it completely ruins their life.

[@pinowlgi4946]

@ShivangiKrishna yeah, pretty sure, If true, there's an underlying medical issue

[@tettivestberg2989]

Take the kids and run! She is toxic!

[@ordomachinum4016]

Oh yeah I remember the story the dude let’s the ex-wife back him she does well for like a week but then ends up reusing and self ends leaving the kids heart broken and no answers given

[@adamfischer6]

okay cooking not a mans job?! my dad cooks all the time for our family that is just wrong for her saying that

[@shaylamiller2149]

Get a friend or a family member that had been threw this before

[@andrentaz]

My man was raising 3 children and didn’t even know until the second one started to cook

[@User_internet960]

💀

[@sherrellmccarthy2301]

Wish we could get an update on how it all went 😊

[@mrsw2923]

What a harpie. She should be happy that one of her. Holden inherited her love of cooking. Get him away from her before she permanently damages his sense of self and security.

[@Izumiorra]

Okay I just watched the whole thing and I'm surprised, all this grief over his son wanting to cook? I'm trying to teach my own son to cook at 4, it's a useful skill to learn especially if they at some point want to move out in the future 😢😮 there some oh so very wrong with wifey

[@diannafromherz8364]

Wow! This is such an unexpectedly intense downward spiral from the beginning of the story.

[@objectgamercreator6141]

I would have just said to the son Look your mom loves you but she’s jealous of the compliments I gave you but she never learned how to deal with jealousy in a healthy way so she’s act less mature than you right now I’m very proud of you

[@objectgamercreator6141]

So he at least knows why

[@Sque4ks]

Then that would give the son a bad lesson, to let people in his life that want to bring him done because of their own issues. When your a parent it doesn't matter you need to suck up your "jealously" and be proud of your kid.

[@db01-i4k]

Dude should call the cops for neglect

[@Liz-u5n5z]

I think you should make sure that your son knows that he’s not the reason for the divorce cause after the whole situation he might think it’s his fault cause you guys started arguing

[@helenawinther2005]

If she need as much adfirmation as a child... that's sad! She should be happy that she even get prace for cooking, most parents doesn't. And noone is pracing the parents to get the money for food or anything else. Parent her and tell your daughter not to be rude against her brother. Some day you wouldn't be around and siblings will be there longer.

[@sashalily2001]

Maybe try cooking with your son as it may cheer him up ok it is a decent idea to make him feel a bit better

[@PenguinChiyooo]

This is like that one episode from king of the hill

[@TordDehEditor]

the perfect father doesn't exi-

[@szabolcscsanadi8142]

You could shower your son with love. If she's playing favourites u can too.

[@mjs_gaming]

Divorce the wife marry the food

[@Starryhazel1]

Ok but this all happened from a kid cooking a meal 🤦‍♀️ hope your doing well man

[@rykertaylor5466]

For the record i am a male teenager and I personally think it is super fun

[@darthgeekius]

Personally I don’t think he should have dropped the divorce papers on her when she was listening to an idiot friend and on drugs and going to therapy. But otherwise, he’s one hundred percent right.

[@mcvenne8935]

What part of Canada does he live in because where I live you can divorce whenever you want for whatever reason?

[@herrschersfool]

the fact that this was all over her jealousy over a child, absolutely pathetic man

[@nusrstmemon1772]

What did you say you say bro, go get a job you’re unemployed and I’m leaving you if you don’t get a job and stop criticising are son Points gun at her😂

[@kidschoiceawardsRios]

man these AI reddit stories are getting good

[@FaizatheTempest]

There are comments on the post. So it's not AI.

[@yousefali8997]

Divorce her

[@RetroMango]

the ai voice saying OOP different every time:

[@shawnycoffman]

That's it? That's all the story? I need a conclusion!!

[@tayla8056]

She's a mess

[@bubblesawesome3284]

He could try and tell them she’s dangerous because of her drug use

[@Alan-j9f]

Damn that’s fucking crazy more drama then I get in a fucking year which is good for me but poor guy fr

[@SpaceGuy4]

Bruh she should not be acting like that she is being childish and i can tell that her ego is way to big cus you should not be acting like that as a fully functioning adult

[@St4t1ksGD]

Yo bro, can I get link to the post or whatever? I want to stay updated on this

[@TheCornDavis]

I have theories about what could've caused her to act like this all of a sudden but the more story I get the more questions I have 😂😂😂 those theories just keep piling up lol

[@Shockwavealtaccount69420]

Bro could have sell her to the Mexican 🤑🤑🤑

[@jackcurl2005]

Well that escalated quickly. Clearly some kind of break. It might have been triggered by son's cooking, but something was there festering under the surface. Should you get full custody, you're gonna have to keep a firm hand on daughter (not favoring your son in the process), but she had demonstrated poor treatment of your son. Maybe outside of influence of wife she'll revert back to acting better. But wife definitely has been negatively influencing daughter that son/brother is cause of all issues.

[@JohnValentineFallon]

Guy compliments his sons cooking -Marraige implodes and wife turns into junkie rage monster- Guy "Boy... that escalated quickly"

[@FlareRuinist]

What the hell is wrong with the wife man 😭

[@lynettegibson5300]

Wait a minute this was over cooking Gang this was over cooking

[@ravengreywitch510]

Ok yall can att me but op saying he didn't get the good cooking genes is a total cop out but the wife has aloot wrong with her getting jealous over a child cooking well she should be proud of her son knowing that when hes an adult and moved out he wont starve or live on super un healthy foods so many men and woman dont know how to cook. Op did the wright thing fir her kids.

[@ShivangiKrishna]

Was she like actually possessed or something? How can a normal human who has been a good wife/partner, mother for years just change so drastically and continue till it has ruined her life completely?

[@EVEYANDTHERUBY]

Can you finish the story please?

[@sashalily2001]

Also one thing you should let the kids see there mum but suppervise as it needs to be done as it may affect their mental health if one of them run away to there mum I’m (10f) and this has happened to me my sister left to our old step mum and I have 10 siblings but sadly live with none

[@Ahem-nc2nt]

I think she has some kind of disease or extreme mental breakdown . Her friends are jealous of her trying to ruin your marriage and her . At that time a person's mind will start to justify things which are wrong and also the friends probably told her you are cheating so she should just do it. Therapy counseling and distance from those friends will most likely make things close to normal again. If you still think you want this to work out for your sake for your kids sake for her sake. You still have a chance . If you wanna take it ,then do it

[@helenawinther2005]

Do not go back and say your mind about getting a divorce what happened happened. Yeah it might have bien a bad time but you were true to your feelings. Some stay around for the health to be better and keep finding excuses for not going through with it. It wasn't going to be better and her jalousi isn't something she can do something about but the treatment was unnecessary.

[@sierrafairbanks7776]

This has to be fake because ain't no way she is that childish. 😂 Like bro talk about a complete 180! Maybe she is having some kind of mental episode, like BPD or something. I remember a friend who had BPD, and she told me about how she made really poor choices and would go on bingers and stuff. Then again, she NEVER EVER mistreated her kids. She was a good mom and tried really hard to better herself. It doesn't help that she was misdiagnosed for a long time too. So maybe this is something similar. Idk. I just can't figure out how she went from a mature, level-headed, good parent to an emotionally abusive bad parent with a sudden inkling for alcohol, drugs, partying, and sex.

[@ZamyaRodriguez]

You're wife is pathetic for having a grudge over y'all's son like come on 💢

[@AinsleyKatzman]

wtf-

[@luzlugo6676]

How crazy is this . Jealous yes. But to take it out on your oun child. No, but he'll no. Counseling is good in this instance . But why her son is an extention of her. She thought him and becouse of her teaching he wanted to expand of course he may have added a little to much salt but constructive criticism I good not throwing all of her and the sistes plate in the trash who knows the doughter may have liked it but was affrade to say anything. The mom went crazy right there. And wtf going on a bender with her friend . The friend feed her some crazy lies . We don't know if she had evidence or not . But if she did why go this nuclear. She had the evidence if at all she would of gotten half or more if it was true and the kids. It seems she started with a stupid reason and ended it in a crazy way that may end her up in the poor house for her action. And how would he be fooling around after working and taking care of the kids . I'm sure his parents wouldn't take care of the kids 5 days a week . They have there oun things to do then to take care of thr grandkids 5 days a week. No matter how much they love the little niblets/goblens ( mean that in a good way, not the nasty way they sound like good kids). That bender the friend took her on was most likly the friends idea but she went with it without thinking that she was at fault and mad things 1000% worse then just helping her son become better at cooking.

[@FranciscoCarrillo-w7j]

You can buy your son some stuff and maybe hide a little bit of the little girls stuff maybe I'm just trying

[@GrahamOkundye-l2z]

Wow she is a terrible mother

[@JusticeGreen-no5dc]

Op oh I mean oop story is crazy

[@pokepal98092]

7:43 lol

[@Rattelcat8365]

Wtf is wrong with her

[@Fede321c0]

Just to let everyone know body know, Italian ppl ( I am Italian and admit that I am a bit like this too) tend to get jealous , and although this is a very extreme case, it’s almost normal in Italian households for the wife to be a bit jealous

[@VictoriaBenson-q9t]

u should only take full custody of ur son cause his sister is so mean to him leave ur daughter with ur wife cause if ur wife goes broke it will teach them a lesson and to never be mean to ur son

[@karinagutierrez7134]

Daughter doesn’t deserve the emotional incest that will almost certainly happen if she goes with her mom. Without a doubt she needs to be corrected, but she’s only 9.

[@VictoriaBenson-q9t]

@karinagutierrez7134 she needs to learn not to be a spoiled bratty monster who treats her brother like crap who did nothing wrong

[@aluna1234]

​@VictoriaBenson-q9t she's 9, she's only acting like that because mom gives her extra attention and presents. She probably gets extra praise if she's meaner, she'll more than likely chill out after she stops spending time with her mom

[@ChibiLily18]

Theres a good chance the daughter will learn and reinforce even more that her moms behavior is okay if she lives with the mom. Shes still young enough to unlearn it. But yes, she does deserve to be punished appropriately for being mean and rude, i agree to that. However, i think taking the kids to therapy id also a smart move. It will allow for them to express their feelings and the daughter to recognize what she did wrong without building resentment from her (hopefully)

[@VictoriaBenson-q9t]

@ChibiLily18 I like wht ur saying but idk if the therapy will help cause she was the one who started to be mean then there mom. I want to make sure she learns the hard on way for an appropriate punishment I think once she suffered a little bit she would come crawling back and then be better (way better) to her brother FYI of she suffered a little but not crazy she'll learn quicker. When I get punished by my mom it's not bad but for my dad he would yell then we give each other space and all that crap

[@edieb.10x]

this story fucking disgusts me.

[@PandaPlayer-2045]

Bro actually divorced her for going crazy over him complimenting THEIR SON'S COOKING! Not even because she was cheating at first, but because he complimented their SON. That's just stupid and wild. Honestly, if this sent her into a spiral she's had other mental issues either in the past or presently before this happened. It's just wild that she went off and it ended in divorce🤯😨

[@SergioPepe-dy4tw]

You’re wrong dude He wanted to keep the marriage afloat but then he got cheated on after which he served her with divorce papers

[@Patrick-g7q]

He only goes through the divorce when she overdoses on illegal substances
