We're striving to cultivate a psychologically safe space for our children, where they feel emotionally validated and comfortable expressing their vulnerabilities. Witnessing our past interpersonal conflict may have unintentionally created an inhibitory environment for open communication. We acknowledge our own emotional dysregulation and limited capacity for affective connection, which could be contributing factors. We're actively working on enhancing our communication skills and practicing emotional acceptance to foster a more nurturing environment.
We're also navigating the challenges of household responsibility distribution. Feeling overburdened and lacking adequate collaborative support can create frustration and tension within the family unit. We recognize our past tendency towards emotional avoidance and unproductive aggressive communication, and we're actively seeking to replace them with assertive communication centered on "I" statements and focusing on desired outcomes rather than blame. We're open to therapeutic interventions and appreciate any guidance towards fostering a more collaborative and emotionally supportive family dynamic for all members.
