[quote=Anonymous]Please help your husband understand that it's ok to show emotion, it's not ok to repress it, he needs to deal with something it sounds like And please STOP shutting your kid down when he cries. He needs to know it's ok to cry! It's healthy! Help him name his emotions (sadness, loneliness, from missing his grandmother and wishing he could spend more time with her) so that he can process them. What you're trying to get him to do is not to control his emotions, it's to repress them. This is really, really important. He needs to learn to process emotions or he's going to end up like your husband. (Which is not good, fyi.)[/quote]
