[quote=Anonymous]I don’t have answers but I will say that if you have poor conflict resolution as a couple a SN child will magnify that by a thousand. My spouse and I just can’t agree on things—in retrospect, before the kids we just papered over it and did our separate things or one just gave in (usually me). I wish we had worked with a couples therapist skilled in teaching people how to disagree productively and reach resolution decades ago. He really didn’t want to then, and I’m too exhausted to try now. I read some books and tried to sort of implement things I’d read there but it really doesn’t work as a one way street. For me, that’s a much bigger issue that not having a babysitter to be able to get out or whatever. [/quote]
