Superficial:

If a child feels S-O, SO, SO dominated by a father, that he/she has lost the ability to talk back, (We’re talking about teens here, where the child learns the fine art of chutzpah) to the parent, from my perspective there is little therapy will do for the person.

Teens are highly unlikely to call a therapist and say they have a problem with a domineering parent. This usually happens AFTER a kid goes off and the family enters counseling to win back the child. Such a child has been dealing with ISSUES, which are more intense that a shoulder-shrugging, “Oh well, that’s life”.

These parental issues will transfer onto the newlyweds, and can cause catastrophic results. If a spouse is interested GREAT, but kindly be honest about what they are in for.
