Our son is married to a narcissistic sociopath. (Our mental health professional diagnosed her based on behavior we described.) They have been married for ten years and have three children, aged seven and under. We saw the relationship bombing in the beginning and asked him to rethink the marriage. She has been in attack mode since. She isolates him from family and friends and monitors and controls all aspects of his life. He barely speaks to us. He clams up when we attempt to talk about our concerns. We feel hopeless. How can we have a conversation about our concerns for him and his children?

My fifteen-year-old daughter and my husband are constantly at each other. He tells her to clean her room, and she doesn’t. He asks her to help around the house, she snaps. Then he retaliates. She talks angrily, and when I point this out, she responds with, “That’s how I talk!” He says she’s rude and disrespectful, and she says the same about him. Both feel disrespected, and it’s like they hate each other. She wants to move out when she turns sixteen, and I’m scared for her. The same thing happened with my first daughter when I was in another relationship. What can I do?
