Comment on So you grew up with a dad who didn’t know how to express love? Here’s how it could be affecting you today by Tammy G.
Glad to have found this! I’m hoping you can help with some suggestions. My 13y.o. daughter is CONVINCED my husband (her dad) hates her. In “normal” teen fashion, this vascillates with “I love you Dada”.
Jordan has always been willful, opinionated & outspoken. It’s part of what makes her the awesome, smart driven young woman she is becoming & I’m in awe of her self-confidence.
BUT I am the go-getter in my marriage, where my husband has had his issues: spending, drinking etc. He has worked to get them under control, but obviously Jordan identifies with me. This has led to some hurtful arguments between she and her dad.
So I’m looking for ideas of things he can do to rebuild that trust. A word, a card, an event. I know there’s no instant fix, but every step is something.
