  able to do light household chores and care for his 5-year-old son.
 
  The wife/mother decides to attend
  a 2-year nursing program to provide income for the family. The husband tells everyone he is

  scenario is an example of

In this situation the husband's verbal response to his wife returning to school is positive, but his
behavioral response is negative. The wife is placed in a no-win situation. Option A: Scapegoating
refers to blaming one family member for the family's problems. Option B: Triangulation refers to
drawing in a third person to stabilize an unstable relationship between two persons. Option C:
Placating refers to a way of keeping peace within the family by taking the blame for another's
behavior.
