Q&A with Australian Health Practitioners
How can I improve relationships and deal with issues constructively?
My young adult son has struggled with self esteem and anxiety for years. He and my husband blame me for it - I criticised him too much, I don't have kind words for him… I am the bad guy to blame. I took note of everything when my son’s life went off track and tried to corrected, while my husband excused himself he didn’t know how to deal with issues… Yet my son and our friends adore him. What can I do to how to help my son? He self harmed himself, he doesn’t accept himself, he has no friends, girlfriend, is perfectionist, lonely and doesn't want to talk to him… Otherwise he is handsome, has good job, people like him very much, but it all stops there… I think he would rather escape the issue rather than to deal with it…
My husband and I have superficial relationship. He physically and emotionally abused me over the years and gives me a silent treatment whenever I don’t comply with his expectations. I projected my unhappiness onto my children..
