The shocking past of the wife of the "SOS couple," who directly reported to the police after circumstances revealed that she was abusing her 34-month-old son, will be disclosed.
In the episode of MBC's variety program "Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell" airing at 9 p.m. on the 9th, the second story of the "SOS couple" will unfold, following last week's broadcast.
In a previous episode, the wife's story was revealed: she did not know she was pregnant for nine months and gave birth just 30 minutes after arriving at the hospital. The wife displayed an inability to control her emotions in front of her crying son, evoking sympathy.
In observation footage, the child wakes from a nap, hugs a comforter doll, and quietly calls for his father. Subsequently, the child, who had been reading a book alone, bursts into tears when the mother turns off the TV, and the wife raises her voice as she takes the child to his room.
Faced with the recurring situation, MC Jang Dong-min sighs, asking, "How many times has this confinement happened?" while MC So Yu-jin tightly closes her eyes, saying, "I can't watch."
After her emotions subside, the wife breaks down in tears in front of the child, saying, "Mom doesn't want to get angry, but it seems something is broken with Mom."
Subsequently, the wife confesses to her childhood pain, stating, "I was not loved by four mothers."
The wife reveals that her biological mother's violence was so repetitive that she was beaten six days out of every week. She also confesses that after her parents' divorce, she was constantly controlled by her stepmother. She further discloses that she grew up without protection from several subsequent caregivers.
In a preview video, the wife confesses to being a victim of domestic violence, saying, "From my biological mother, to the second mother, the third woman who passed through, and even the fourth, my current mother."
Particularly, psychiatrist Oh Eun-young and the MCs could not hide their dismay upon hearing an anecdote where the wife had to erase bloodstains from wallpaper with an eraser after being injured by assault.
Dr. Oh points out an important connection between the wounds that have continued since childhood and the current behaviors the wife displays toward her child.
Subsequently, Dr. Oh diagnoses the wife as a "victim and survivor of child abuse," stating it is "PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), specifically a very complex type." He analyzes that the appearances the wife has shown thus far are symptoms of PTSD.
Dr. Oh emphasizes, "Of course, not everyone with PTSD abuses their own children," while adding, "It cannot be justified that the wife is abusing her son."
On the other hand, it is also revealed that the husband, who has been watching over the precarious relationship between his wife and child, has an unexpected problem of his own.
The wife reveals that she always feels lonely when with her husband, stating that she has no one to share her emotions with.
Regarding his wife's difficult past, the husband says, "I don't really want to remember it," and adds, "I don't understand why she holds onto it instead of letting it out."
In response, Dr. Oh points out the husband's attitude of ignoring the deep wounds of both the child and his wife, despite claiming to love the child.
In today's broadcast, the wife is shown voluntarily reporting the fact of child abuse following advice from Dr. Oh and the production team, and her daily life 50 days later is revealed. Attention is focused on what changes have come to the SOS couple and their son.
