Scenario

When parents disagree on how to handle a child's mental health crisis

My daughter is struggling with an eating disorder and my husband and I have completely different approaches — he thinks we should give her space and I think we need more intervention — and every conversation about it becomes a fight about our parenting styles instead of actually helping her. We're both terrified and instead of supporting each other we're tearing each other apart.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Fear for their child is activating different protective instincts that are creating division when unity is most needed.
