Telling Secrets
We all know the unwritten rules and most of us abide by them. You don't talk about dad's bathroom habits or post pictures of mom's morning hair. But what if a child, an inside man if you will, is telling your secrets to their other home and it's hurting your relationship. Get direct. Hey, because I love you and want to trust you, I need to ask you to stop. My article, Telling Secrets, gives more details about this. But bottom line: don't be passive, speak up. Your family is worth it.
