Is your father emotionally in the centre of your relationship with your husband? You may have left your home and moved in with your husband, yet still continue to behave emotionally like a daughter in your relationship with him.
And this dynamic can manifest itself in many ways within a couple’s relationship.
When your father’s approval carries more weight than the agreements you make as a couple.
When you turn to your mother or father with issues that should first be discussed with your partner.
When you expect your partner to provide the kind of care that belongs to the relationship between parents and children.
Or when your family of origin continues to have too much influence over the couple’s decisions.
Leaving your parents does not mean abandoning them. It means recognising where you come from and, as an adult, establishing a new set of priorities. This is where the couple’s relationship begins.
