A father seeks advice regarding the strained relationship between his daughter and wife, who are both OCD sufferers but clash due to differing obsessions. The daughter, nearly 18, feels she knows very little about her mother's past, which has made her feel disconnected, especially as her mother is closed off about her own experiences. While both are in therapy, the daughter has refused family counseling. The father grapples with whether to tell his wife about their daughter's feelings, fearing it may hurt her deeply, yet recognizing a potential drift between them as college approaches.
Your daughter expressed that she feels she only knows her mother’s favorite foods and that her mother is overly controlling. There’s a disconnect based on their similarities.
Despite your wife's intentions to protect your daughter from her past, being closed off may have exacerbated the gap in their relationship, leaving your daughter feeling isolated.
