[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 268640, member: 6546"] Zeke-- Hello and Welcome! I have not read all the replies to this post, so please forgive me if I am redundant.... From your post, it seems to me that there are multiple issues at work within your family. First and foremost, if you are suffering from a heart condition, my guess is that you probably don't start a lot of confrontation and try to avoid stress and aggravation whenever possible....maybe even to the point of being a little more lenient with your daughter than you should. If your daughter has beer bottles in her room, at the very least we know that she is drinking....she may also be doing a lot more than that. And if Mom is not going to question her too closely and Dad is inattentive, at best, then chances are that daughter feels she can get away with quite a bit of inappropriate behaviors--and probably right under your noses, too! husband has disengaged from the family, for whatever reason--but not 100%....and so every once in a while he feels like he needs to step in and do something--he's just not sure what that something should be. And so he gets angry, and frustrated, and he yells and screams. Tough situation...and when parents disagree about how to raise their children, it puts even the best of marriages to the test. My advice would be to head for a counselor that can help your whole family, both as a family, and as individuals. Make sure daughter does not have any drinking or drug problems. Find out why husband has been so reluctant to be a parent. Find out better ways to be a firm parent, without aggravating a heart condition. Good luck! --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
