The Nightmare of Having to Parent Your Partner

<p>&ldquo;Ihave four kids in my house,&rdquo; my client said. &ldquo;And one of them is 42.&rdquo;</p> <p>She was frustrated by her partner&rsquo;s inability to share the load in their family &mdash; and she was increasingly resentful of having to take care of his emotional wellbeing.</p> <p>&ldquo;He leaves everything to me. He&rsquo;ll do things if I tell him to, but he doesn&rsquo;t initiate anything. I constantly feel like I&rsquo;m nagging or reminding or looking out for him &mdash; just like I do for the kids.&rdquo;</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/on-the-couch/the-nightmare-of-having-to-parent-your-partner-caa0e557201b"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
