One question about counseling. I had asked W if she thought that seeing an individual counselor about her depression and general unhappiness would help. She wasn't sure, but thought that it might.
I don't want to push the issue on her, but how do I hint that it may be to her benefit in helping out what she really wants, or what will make her happy (this means with , or without me, which is why i say her benefit)
She has had past issues that she doesn't like to talk about, but I know have been carried with her all her life.
Her dad had an A when she was 9, and her parents divorced. Her Mom has depression issues as well as happyness issues, no matter who she is with, and tends to be very needy.
She is always conflicted on where to spend holidays, she doesn't want to make her mom or dad feel put out.
I think that seeing a counselor of her own might help her work through some of these issues. How do i approach her without making it sound like another "marriage fix"
