It has been a chaotic time in the Trump household between Donald Trump being indicted on multiple charges, including election interference to allegedly taking classified documents, and the relaunch of his political campaign that has him running for president for a third time. And while Barron Trump may not have any direct involvement in these things, it’s clear that Melania Trump has been instrumental in making sure things stay that way. She has allowed her son to focus on school and just being a kid despite the noise going on everywhere else. “Melania’s main job is taking care of Barron,” a source told People magazine in March. “Barron is shy and reserved, and she has been a good mother to him all of these years,” the source added.

Dr. Sanam Hafeez points out that Melania has been doing most of this parenting stuff solo. “It doesn’t appear that [Donald] Trump does much of the parenting, and even if he does, he is publicly too busy to be a present father, leaving Melania to fret on her own,” Hafeez tells Nicki Swift exclusively. But watching her only son leave the cushy nest that she’s built for him may be absolutely heartbreaking for her in more ways than one. “Barron leaving home is more than just a son going away. It is a son becoming possibly subject to ridicule or harm, as well as [Melania’s] loneliness and lack of emotional support that she may have derived from [him],” Dr. Hafeez said.
