    Font - freeze_burn_repeat · 16 hr. ago Unfortunately I think we're all trying to understand OP's behavior, but it most likely has nothing to do with the child's photo. It's about control. It seems she wants to be the nucleus of the family, and her husband bonding with her son and taking initiative will derail that plan.
