My daughter thinks my husband is abusive

Toward me and his 15 year old. She says he gaslights and doesn’t respect boundaries. I’m shocked because I don’t agree at all. He treats me better than I’ve ever been treated in my life. I told her that. I really just don’t agree at all. She didn’t have good examples either.

Pretty bizarre thing for them to say.

Maybe she just doesn’t like him?

Is she jealous of his attention maybe? You have talked before of how kind your husband is to you.

Maybe. But they’ve always gotten along and he goes out of his way for her all the time

Maybe @Loke. I’ll have to watch for that

Maybe her boundaries are the problem, maybe they are unreasonable, maybe she is too sensitive. It is not reasonable to expect everyone to respect everyone else s boundaries all the time. If I had to alter my behaviour for everyone I would be miserable and so would anyone else that did that.

Yes. We’ve been together for 8 years. She used to say he was really nice. Then just now she says that

Wait. How old is she? After my daughter turned 13 she hated the world.

She’s 21 years old

She is young so you’ll have to teach her by example. Next time she crosses your boundaries or someone else’s boundaries ask her why she isn’t altering her behaviour in the way she expects your husband to alter his. Point out her hypocrisy, maybe that will teach her to be more reasonable. It’s not okay for her to do what she wants while expecting everyone to cave to her demands.

My daughter actually said it out of love and concern. She’s a good person.

She’s not demanding at all. I’ve never seen her demand anything

She’s not taking domestic violence awareness classes is she? I remember right after I took self defense classes I saw danger in every corner for a while.

Maybe she is seeing something you aren’t. People outside of a relationship often see things you miss from the inside.

She has been reading a lot of stuff like that lately. She’s interested in psychology and sociology
