Overcoming Betrayal & Addiction

My 9-Year-Old Daughter Found Out About His Affairs and Now She's Self-Harming


Listen Later

Dr. Rob and Tami answer a question from a distraught mother who has no idea how to work through her daughter's feelings and emotions about her father's sexual betrayal. Despite the young daughter going to a therapist, the mother is receiving news from him that she should be 100% honest with her daughter about what's happening in the household. Dr. Rob weighs in on how this isn't healthy or good advice, and how to best approach this instead.
