[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 501980, member: 11791"] been there done that. The only way we could turn around our difficult child was to [I]increase[/I] the non-negotiable relationship-building activities. It was completely counter-intuitive. Took a long time to get husband on-side. But it's really the only thing that worked in changing his behavior and attitude at home. The more you feed the "us vs. you" mentality, the bigger the gap gets, and the LESS respect he has for you... and the problems get worse. Its really hard to navigate this. It really, really is. I get that. But... if the relationship isn't healthy, it is more important to work on the relationship than to work on the behaviors. [/QUOTE]
