My Son Has Turned Our Family Into A Dysfunctional Mess

.

Save Your Family From Dysfunction

Because your child experiencing issues puts so much pressure on the rest of the family, it is quite common for resentments to begin to form. It can anger siblings that such a large part of the families time and resources are focused on a single member while they are neglected. Parents may also begin to harbor feelings of anger when their children seems to refuse to act to improve the situation. The end result of these resentments forming is a family that isn't as close knit. To avoid this result, parents need to respond to the issues their boy is facing in a healthier way. First, it is essential to continue to play close attention to any other children. The situation can become far worse if another child beings to act out in an attempt to get attention. Parents should seek to divide their time as equitably as possible while still giving their boy the support he needs to overcome his problems. The second essential step is seeking out professional help. By entering therapy, your son may be able to come to terms with the reasons behind his problems while learning new ways to deal with them more effectively. Both of these strategies will help preserve your family as you go through this difficult time.
