I find it challenging to establish healthy boundaries with my father, who tends to be overbearing and intrusive. It feels like any attempt to set limits is met with resistance or guilt. What should I do?

Setting boundaries with a parent can be tough, especially if they're used to being involved in every aspect of your life. Start by calmly explaining your need for space and privacy. Be firm but kind, and stick to your boundaries even if there's pushback. It may take time for your father to adjust, but consistency is key. Seek support from friends or a therapist if needed, and remember that prioritizing your well-being is important.

Our childhood plays a major role on how we will be as a child. There are many different kinds of parenting and we will try to discuss bit-by-bit everyday. हम एक बच्चे के रूप में कैसे होंगे, इसमें हमारा बचपन एक प्रमुख भूमिका निभाता है। पालन-पोषण कई प्रकार के होते हैं और हम प्रतिदिन थोड़ा-थोड़ा करके चर्चा करने का प्रयास करेंगे। Authoritarian Parenting अथोरिटीयन पेरैंटींग 1. Does any of these statements sound like your childhood? क्या इनमें से कोई भी कथन आपके बचपन जैसा लगता है? 2. Your parents believed kids should be seen and not heard. आपके माता-पिता का मानना था कि बच्चों को देखा जाना चाहिए, सुना नहीं जाना चाहिए। 3. When it comes to rules, they believed it's "my way or the highway." जब नियमों की बात आती है, तो उनका मानना था कि यह "मेरा रास्ता या राजमार्ग" है। 4. They didn't take your feelings into consideration when you were a child जब आप बच्चे थे तो उन्होंने आपकी भावनाओं पर ध्यान नहीं दिया 5. Your parents have often uttered the words "because I said so" when you as a child asked questions and they never explained reasons behind the rules. जब आप एक बच्चे के रूप में प्रश्न पूछते थे तो आपके माता-पिता अक्सर "क्योंकि मैंने ऐसा कहा था" शब्द कहते थे और उन्होंने कभी भी नियमों के पीछे के कारण नहीं बताए। Is this the parenting style you had as a childhood. Comment so that we can discuss more क्या आपके बचपन में पालन-पोषण की यही शैली थी? टिप्पणी करें ताकि हम और अधिक च#parenting्चा कर#childhood#childhoodmemoriesें #parentingstyle # # # #adulthood #life

I have gone through my child's death because of premature delivery. My husband is blaming me for that and taking a divorce from me. My all inlaws are against me. After marriage my husband and in laws started mentally torturing me .Nowadays I am dealing with lots of depression and stress. I am suffering sleepless nights. Please help me. How can I overcome the depression and stress caused by my husband blaming me for our child's premature death and my in-laws' mental torture, while dealing with sleepless nights and the threat of divorce?

I'm deeply sorry to hear about the immense pain and suffering you're experiencing. t’s crucial to prioritize your mental health and well-being during this incredibly time.Establish a strong support system by reaching out to friends or family members who can offer emotional support, and consult with a lawyer to understand your rights regarding the divorce and potential legal support against the mental torture.Set clear boundaries by limiting contact with people contributing to this stress and create a comforting space for yourself, focus on future,small achievable goals.Prioritize self-care by creating a calming bedtime routine to improve your sleep quality,Incorporate mindfulness meditation and relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises to manage stress.Journaling your thoughts and feelings can be therapeutic, and practicing daily gratitude can help shift your focus towards positive aspects of your life. Pl remember healing takes time and you deserve compassion. Stay strong
First of all, please inform your family about what all is happening to you in your husband's home.. please don't hide anything. Mental stress is always fatal for the baby in the womb. How insanely toxic are the people who were troubling you even during the time of pregnancy. Also, your first focus should be you now. Please dont lose yourself in pleasing others. Make your husband understand in the presence of your Folks. And take a final decision. Never settle in the home where you fail to get basic respect. Life is not just about a toxic marriage.

My parents are looking for matches for me and I am ok with it. however I think a dating period is necessary to understand each other. How long should this period be?
It depends on your flow and compatibility in a relationship. There's no fixed time but a few months probably mught be good to get used to each other's compatibility
Anonymous-8d
I really doubt they'll agree to wait for long so maybe 7-8 months is reasonable

So sad I went for a movie with my son and when I came home I had my husband not eating food and calling me names. Just because I went out for a movie with my son . Does it happen with u - how do u deal with it

It's okay to go and enjoy with your children especially when your partner doesn't have time. You don't have to restrict yourself just because your partner doesn't have time for you!

He might also wanted to go with you both and must be calling you names out of jealousy as he missed all the fun with his family 🥰
