you may be at this site because you're avoiding going home-

You know the minute you walk in the door you’ll be holding your breath, awaiting a cue that will tell you how bad the evening will be. You’re trying to delay the yelling and screaming that awaits you - or worse, the silent avoidant treatment. Your strong-willed child will put your patience to the test the second you walk in. Your bitterly sarcastic teenager will be hiding in their room on their phone. Your partner will be distracted and distant, avoiding your repeated concerns for the state of the family. At dinner you try to change the direction of the mood, but everyone’s day was “fine” and no one seems to care. You are constantly walking on egg shells and trying to anticipate when the next big eruption will be.

You have tried to change things, you’ve read all the books to find a solution. You may have been told that this is a phase. But, your family doesn’t seem to be growing out of it. You may have Googled countless therapists, and even tried to reach out to a few. Yet you still find yourself lying in bed at night wondering what happened, how your family got here, and whether tomorrow will be any better. Lately, you’ve found yourself distracted at work thinking about how bad things have become at home- it’s starting to become a constant concern.

You can only walk on eggshells and give each other the silent treatment for so long before the conflict and resentment starts to permanently damage your family relationships.

You are at the end of your rope, and something needs to change. Soon.
