How do I convince my wife that she needs to go to counseling in order to heal? Do I drag her to counseling, or does she need to go on her own? We’ve been married 12 years and have 3 children. I feel like she’s avoiding counseling because of her childhood trauma.
How do I handle giving my granddaughter money for her high school graduation? She never thanks me when I give her a gift, and I want her to understand it’s important for her to thank me.
I lost my father tragically in the 1990s because he was an alcoholic and had a heart attack in the home of his mistress. I took my kids out of school and stayed away from my support group because I was filled with shame. Can you help me understand why I had so much shame?
