Dear Wayne,
May 27, 2009
He wants his wife to be a better mother to their daughter.
Dear Wayne,
My wife tends to get very emotional and angry and it has been upsetting for our seven-year-old daughter. She wrote a letter to my wife telling her about the way it feels when her mom reacts to her. When my wife read the letter she got very upset. Of course, this is precisely our daughter’s problem. I spoke with my wife and encouraged her to remain calm and to discuss the letter with our daughter. Later, when I heard yelling, I knew it had not gone well. I am very concerned for my daughter and I do not know how to help my wife to behave differently as a mother. Any suggestions?
