Question Answered step-by-step Marsha and Josh are married and have a blended family with his… Marsha and Josh are married and have a blended family with his children and her children from prior relationships. They have differing parenting styles with their children, which causes quite a bit of disruption in the house. The children (as most will) have noticed the disparity in the parenting styles and have begun to use it to their advantages. This has caused problems in Marsha and Josh’s marriage, and they’re on the brink of divorce. When they try to talk about the differences in their parenting, they don’t really seem to understand each other or validate the other’s style of parenting. Marsha comes from a long line of abusive alcoholic men, who were very authoritarian in their parenting. She wishes Josh would be more like the men in her family, and feels like she has to take too much control of situations in parenting. Josh, on the other hand, grew up with an absent father and a mother with severe mental illness. He remembers his childhood as “fun and permissive” and wants the same for his children. He never had a strong authoritarian parent, and doesn’t want to be one.  Using Juhnke and Hagedorn’s example as a model, walk this family through the Sequential Model family therapy.
