When parents disagree about cultural beauty standards affecting their child

My daughter came home from her exchange semester saying she felt ugly for the first time in her life because of how different beauty standards were there, and my husband thinks she's being dramatic while I'm furious at him for dismissing something that clearly changed how she sees herself.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family fractures when one parent minimizes and another validates their child's encounter with foreign beauty ideals.
