Scenario

When parents disagree about how to help a struggling child

My daughter is struggling with depression and my wife and I have completely different approaches to helping her - I want to give her space and my wife wants to intervene more. We're so focused on being united for our daughter that we never actually talk about how differently we're seeing this.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are so committed to presenting a united front that they're not actually uniting around anything real.
