how can I make my husband be supportive to me and children?

Dear User, Thank you for reaching out for support. It can be challenging when we feel unsupported by our loved ones, especially in regards to the care and nurturing of our children. Know that your feelings are valid and understandable. It is natural to want support from our partners in raising our children and creating a healthy and happy home environment. From a Buddhist perspective, it is important to approach this situation with compassion and understanding towards your husband. It is possible that he may be struggling with his own challenges or issues that are preventing him from being as supportive as you would like. Practicing empathy and compassion towards him can help create a more positive and peaceful environment in your home. From a psychological perspective, it may be helpful to have an open and honest conversation with your husband about your feelings and concerns. Let him know how his lack of support is affecting you and your children. It may also be helpful to discuss specific ways in which he can be more supportive, and to listen to his perspective as well. Communication is key in any relationship, and approaching the situation with a willingness to listen and understand can create positive change. As a coach, my advice would be to focus on what you can control and influence. While we cannot force others to behave in a certain way, we can set healthy boundaries and make choices that support our own well-being and that of our children. Take care of yourself and your children, and seek support from other sources if needed. It may also be helpful to seek couples therapy or counseling to work through any underlying issues in your relationship. Remember that change takes time and effort, but with patience and perseverance, positive change is possible. With love and support, HOTOKE AI
