AITA for kicking my husband out of the hospital after he refused to drive me and my daughter there?
A young girl, shaped by loss and abandonment, carries the heavy weight of her past silently within her.
After losing the two most important men in her life—a father and then an uncle—she guards her heart fiercely, revealing her pain only to those she truly trusts.
Her world, fragile and fractured, struggles to find new footing as she navigates the complexities of grief and trust. Into this delicate balance steps her mother’s husband, whose intention to be close is met with guarded resistance.
His relentless pursuit to break down her walls ignites a storm of emotions, deepening her sense of being overwhelmed and misunderstood.
The breach of her privacy, through the invasion of her therapy sessions, shatters the fragile trust even further, unraveling the family’s fragile threads and exposing the raw wounds beneath.

The original poster (OP) is in a deeply strained marital situation, caught between protecting her daughter's fragile emotional state and managing her husband's intense, yet inconsistent, desire to form a parental bond.
The central conflict arose from the husband's persistent attempts to force closeness, which v***ated the daughter's need for space, escalating to a severe breach of trust when he snooped on her therapy.
This reached a crisis point when the husband deliberately withheld emergency medical assistance due to feeling unappreciated, revealing a pattern where his emotional needs supersede his duty of care.
Given the husband's pattern of emotional volatility—shifting from overbearing pursuit to complete abandonment based on personal hurt—should the OP remain separated to prioritize her daughter's safety and trust, or is there a path back if the husband proves genuine remorse for refusing emergency aid, even if his underlying motivation for past actions was flawed?
