[quote=Anonymous]Anger is a secondary emotion to fear. He’s likely scared for your kid. Scared for what it will mean for you all as well. So maybe don’t get angry at him for his anger, even though I can understand if you’d want to. It just would likely be more productive to empathize with his unspoken fears and offer reassurance. But yeah, can’t have him rejecting needed supports. Your irritation/anger might be coming from fear too, fear he’ll keep your kid from getting needed help. I find my spouse responds better when I express fear versus anger. So less “I’m angry at you, you’re being an idiot” and more “I’m scared” But yeah it’s so hard. Hang in there [/quote]
