Scenario

When parents disagree about a teenager's withdrawal

My teenage son barely talks to me anymore and my husband says it's normal but I can feel something deeper is wrong, and now my husband and I are fighting about whether I'm being overprotective or he's being too hands-off. We're so busy disagreeing about our son that we've stopped actually seeing him.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are arguing about their interpretation of someone they both love instead of asking that person what they actually need.
