[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping this up as we are having lots of DH and DC (teen) conflict in the house, and sometimes I feel like I’m the only adult in the room. [/quote] 10:29 here. Tell us more. [/quote] Thanks 10:29, it was actually your original post that seemed to describe my DH too. DH is authoritarian, unhelpful and not productive in communicating with DC. He’s emotionally distant and yells at my DC on certain topics, which only upsets DC. DC has been having mental health challenges, but DH doesn’t get it or know how to deal with it. Heck, I don’t either but at least I don’t ruffle feathers and try to be supportive. When they interact on those topics, DC breaks down, DH is distant and won’t engage. At this point, it’s easier for them not to talk. At some point, I hope they can repair their relationship, maybe with some family therapy. But my first priority is to help DC’s mental health. [/quote]
