I have 2 clients right now who are struggling with rather longterm problems.  One has a 3 month old(!), the other about a 6 week old, both are hoping (quite reasonably) for complete resolution.  One of their biggest problem is dads who may be trying to be supportive, but who are expressing it with support that boils down to:
    Gosh, either quit being so upset about it and just do it, or stop!  Why keep torturing yourself?

How do others work with dads who are well-meaning but who provide the wrong kind of support - or, for that matter, with unsupportive dads?
