Husband Won’t Let Wife's Mother Be There When She Gives Birth, Refuses to Return From Work Trip When She Goes Into Labor

When your spouse is about to push a brand new human out of their body... There are a few things that should probably go without saying. The first is that you should be present, barring some unforeseen tragic event. The second is that in said unforeseen tragic event she should probably have someone there that she is comfortable with to support her. No, your stepmother is not that person.

I'm really confused here as to why her mother wasn't allowed to be there for the birth in the first place. Why was the husband explicitly, and selfishly, keeping her away?

Either way, this guy is an idiot and seems to be manipulative based on what we have to go off of here. She needs to get away from him as soon as she possibly can and take the newborn with her.
