Madison’s family faced tension when her husband chose to take his son’s girlfriend on a family trip to Spain, but told Madison’s 18-year-old daughter she couldn’t join due to limited tickets. Madison was upset,

especially since her daughter’s biological father couldn’t afford to send her on the trip. When they returned, Madison found her daughter had moved in with her father, blaming Madison for not standing up for her. Devastated by her husband’s actions, Madison seeks advice on how to mend the situation.Advice: Seek family counseling: A neutral counselor can help facilitate open communication between Madison, her daughter, and her husband. Apologize and rebuild trust: Madison should apologize to her daughter, acknowledge her pain, and demonstrate a commitment to rebuilding their relationship. Set clear boundaries with her husband: Madison should discuss the need for fairness in decisions involving both children and establish mutual expectations moving forward. Encourage her daughter to express herself: Madison should help her daughter process her feelings, possibly through journaling or a letter, to better understand her hurt and begin healing the relationship.
