[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, if he is a good husband then they have not irreversibly damaged him. Plenty of people have shitty upbringings and manage to be fine. If HE is worried about this stuff then he can go to therapy. Otherwise, you should relax. [/quote]

agree.

One of my best friends married a man who had a pretty negative childhood due to his crazy parents. He is an awesome dad and husband.  Why?  Because he knows what he does not want to do (be like his father/mother) and knows what he does want to do.

Hopefully OP's husband has some family goals, or can start formulating them.  A couples counselor would help, he needs ideas, role models and the confidence to be the Head of the Household.

BTW, besides the trap he could fall into where he recreates the dynamic he grew up with, he could do the "re-invent things through his kids" and push them into everything, hard.

Please find a good balance, and do not worry.  Have a lot of girlfriends and keep abreast of what the kiddos can sign up for/ be doing.  Hopefully your spouse has some ideas and goals as well. [/quote]
