It is common and normal for two parents to have different
ideas, opinions, values, and priorities. Part of being successful in a
relationship with another person is being able to use appropriate communication
skills so that ideas and opinions can be expressed and received with respect
and differences of opinion can be worked out using healthy conflict resolution
strategies.
If parents do not communicate respectfully with each other
and do not have a good strategy for resolving conflicts, the result is chronic,
unresolved conflict between the parents. There is an ongoing hostile emotional
tone between the parents that continues to erupt over time and in the same
patterns.
Read how parental conflict is destructive for children
psychologically when they witness their parents’ continuing, unresolved,
hostile conflicts on Michelle Morris’ blog.
