Well if you heard my drama between my husband and my daughter, the ending is we the word is we all need counseling me of coarse for my control.

I haven>t heard this for a while usually means i am not using my communication skills well. so my daughter husband and i agreed to go geeze... now how i got involved i don't know i was the only calm one that day my husband and daughter was not... now my sister who has a  bipolar daughter says the change in weather brings them out,. humm? but counseling to freshen up on my skills and tools and boundaries won't hurt me. i am hoping my daughter can sit in, she needs to go also and really we are there for the same thing, she knows he has BPD . things could of been different that day she was really no better.

now he tells me he don't need that much counseling i am like ok maybe one or two sessions, he says  i am like that is all i need also. he is like well you need it more then i ... of course i just chuckled ok? My daughter can use a little anger management also but that she has to agree on you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink... my you can tell halloween is around the corner/... charges were dropped on my husband. and we even have our granddaughter all day, i knew that wouldNt take long having a child when you can have that break, you out weigh the situation...

Always good to freshen up your skills.

What do you think will be focused on in counseling?
