My stepson, 16, wants to invite his girlfriend on our trip to Spain..
Madison’s family faced conflict when her husband allowed his son’s girlfriend to join a Spain trip but excluded Madison’s 18-year-old daughter due to ticket limitations. Hurt and unsupported, the daughter moved in with her father, leaving Madison devastated.
Advice:
- Seek Counseling: A neutral therapist can help the family communicate effectively.
- Apologize: Madison should express regret to her daughter and rebuild trust.
- Set Boundaries: Discuss fairness with her husband to avoid future issues.
- Encourage Expression: Help her daughter process her feelings and heal through open dialogue or writing.
Fairness and communication are key to repairing their fractured relationship
