Definitely! Everyone in our immediate family has been in counseling off and on for years, since my girls were around 8 and 10. There were times we went as a family, as a couple, as parent and child, as only the children and only one child at a time. It was difficult child's behaviors that made us seek therapy because I thought I was doing something terribly wrong - how in the world could two kids raised in the same house be as different as night and day and why was this one child just throwing wild temper tantrums like I'd never seen before....omg, we had so many questions. We really lucked out with our first therapist. But then she retired and we struggled with others over the years, but some were very good, when we could get difficult child to go. I am currently the only one who goes to counseling at this time and I really value my time with the therapist! I am actually on a break since mid-summer and will start again soon. difficult child would now like to try it again, but has not made finding the right one a priority. H will go but ends up only saying what he thinks they want to hear. easy child went and should continue to go, but she would rather spend her money at American Eagle so she hasn't returned. I am hoping she does before she self destructs.
I think it's great that you have an outlet, someone to talk to, bounce ideas off us or just vent. Yeah for taking care of you!!!!
