An Afflicted Father (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798298696128)

He is a government doctor, a healer for all-except those he loves most. "An Afflicted Father" is the story of a man whose life is a collection of things he cannot fix. He struggles day and night to raise his autistic son, while the suffocating strain of his wife's anxiety widens the chasm in their marriage. The endless cycle of stress and exhaustion has left him on the verge of emotional collapse, and every conversation with his wife becomes a battleground of unspoken resentments and clashing anxieties. Pushed to a breaking point by the relentless stress of his job and the quiet despair at home, he makes a desperate gamble: to have another child, a 'normal' one, hoping this new life will bring the happiness and love they have always craved.

This book is a gripping tale of a father's painful choices and emotional breakdown asking a profound question: Should one mend a broken life by trying to replace the pieces he can't fix?

• More than just a story, this book delves into the complexities of modern life, exploring the challenges of a fractured family and a suffocating marriage. It highlights the immense physical and emotional toll of a life, set against a backdrop of societal pressures and crushing rejections. At its core, it is a raw and honest look at desperation, helplessness, and the ultimate power of love and enduring hope.
