This is very helpful video I am a new step mom and have been in manipulative situations with my husbands ex and I'm just trying learn how to approach these situations appropriately.
How can we break through when the ex wife has turned the kids against my husband. It’s almost impossible for me to be around when they treat my husband with such disrespect.
Hi Stephanie! It sounds like you're dealing with a strong case of "parent alienation". In situations like this, if at all possible, educate yourself about this issue. Also, if you cannot get the children to go to counseling, I hope that you will attend counseling with your husband to help cope with this problem. Here's one good article that I hope will help you start your journey to healthier family relationships (I'm not associated with this organization or this author in any way - I just think it's a good article): centerforparentingeducation.org/library-of-articles/focus-parents/is-your-child-alienated/
Hi Dee! I designed this video based on what I found most common from when I was in private practice for 13 years. I understand that it's not a one size fits all. I'm not a mental health counselor, but there may be mental health things that you're dealing with concerning your husband's difficult ex. You may have to consult a lawyer in your area to effectively deal with your particular situation. I wish you all the best!
