Suggest Ways To Deal With Disrespectful Child And Mother

Hello, I have a daughter that is 12 years old and is constantly at odds with my wife. Her stepmother. But it seems to me that those two can t be around each other for more than a day or two before one is nit picking the other and the other throwing hateful glares and saying hateful and hurtful things. My wife I feel is constantly on her about every little thing and I know that is how my daughter feels. And my duaghter is very disrespectful and mean. Then they start arguing and fighting and next thing I know for those two it is the end of the world. Help how do I deal with both of them when they are both wrong.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. It is a sensitive issue as it is between your daughter and stepmother. If her own mother scolds he she will take it positively but when a step mother does that it will be taken negatively.This situation is usually seen everywhere.You should show an attachment towards your daughter with good understanding.A conselling with a psychologist which includes all three of you can make the situation better.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. There are so many aspects needed to be looked into. One being the adolescent age period and developmental tasks of your child. Second being the mental affection your wife and child has. Third being their being together. Your child could be corrected with the help of behavioral counseling. For the mother, your support and a change in thinking standard may be applicable. Talk to your wife regarding this and advise her to treat your child as her child and provide love and affection even though they quarrel. A child can easily understand a mother's love and affection.

I can help you in this aspect. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
