Step parent issues
by Nicole
(Boston)
So I have two step daughters 8&10. Their father encouraged me to discipline them. But if I do there has been times when he’ll get upset with me about maybe my tone of voice....am I wrong for having the mindset ”if you don’t like it don’t ask”. That is how I discipline and will do so if my child gets out of line (our son together). Damned if I do damned if I don’t

You always maintained your impartiality with us. You encouraged Rita to be more assertive in stating what she wanted to get from your counseling sessions, as well as what she wanted to get from the relationship. You taught both of us better communication between ourselves, which lead to an emotional comfort level between us that didn't exist before. You took control of the direction of the session if things were not moving along. Thanks so much for helping us." Rita and Mark |
