Counseling?

Question by flod_prfekshun: Counseling?
I am 17. My parents just split up about a week ago. My mom was dropping me off at work (eck no, I can’t drive yet) and she told me that she was going to go into AA and take counseling. She said in a couple months she thought it would be a good idea for me to take counseling too, to work out any issues I have from the abuse I’ve dealt with the past 6 years (verbal, not physical). I think I am fine. lol I’ve gotten tough to it over the years. You know? lol But do you think I should try it anyway and see what comes up or what? It sounds like it would be interesting to hear what they had to say, but I’m not one to share personal information very often. Opinions? Thanks. =)
I suppose it’s fair to mention that alcoholism, drugs, and infidelity are involved. -_- Not me though! I despise the stuff.

I think the counseling would be very benificial. In the long run it could help you to build stronger relationships with everyone. Its good to be tough, but if your to tough you may end up pushing people away from you.

I think you should go.talking to a stranger you can say anything you want and not worry about being judged.therapists are there to listen and offer help even if you do not think you need it.
Good luck to you.
