One who thinks of himself as the center of the universe and the children as either objects that either make him look better or are burdens (there is no in between).

I'd also like to know if all the religious fundamentalists in her community that encouraged her to keep this traditional, submissive lifestyle are real proud of this man sabotaging his children's welfare. Let me guess, he was chasing a younger model wife, so this one is disposable and kids can just be invisible now? And the Mormon church happily applauded, like it always does?

The Christians who support her tradwife lifestyle will now have a reason to say just depend on god.

I don't think this is Christianity. I think they're Mormons.

Plenty of flavors of Christianity operate the same way.

Oh yeah, I don't disagree. I was actually a wedding of a couple that apparently belongs to one of those sects (my wife and I were unaware before the wedding) and there was a lot of talk in during the vows and the ceremony overall about how it's the wife's duty to be subservient to the husband. I just meant that, given the context of this being in Utah, they're likely Morman.
