US EditionAsking Eric: My husband threw me under the bus when he talked to his daughter about her moody behavior
- A woman recently wrote to Eric about difficulties with her 27-year-old stepdaughter since she and her husband celebrated their second wedding anniversary.
- The conflict arose after the woman moved into her husband’s house, even though he had cautioned her that his daughter’s initial courteous demeanor might not be maintained.
- The stepdaughter initially seemed to accept the woman but soon became moody and distant, refusing planned family conversations and saying she no longer feels welcome at their home.
- Eric suggested that as the person leading the household, you have the authority to establish the rules and boundaries for how things operate, while also acknowledging that the stepdaughter’s actions represent a complicated and ongoing struggle given the relatively recent marriage.
- The woman wants suggestions on how to encourage her husband to talk candidly with his daughter so she understands that her moody attitude impacts both parents and is not a personal attack against her.
