If you attend a church, call the pastor/priest and ask if he can help both you and your husband in this difficult time. You cannot "forget", but you can "forgive". However, you need support in learning how to go forward in making your marriage stronger after this "event" which is how someone in the "counseling profession" can help. If you do not attend a church, then call some counseling agencies and ask if they have someone who can help both you and your husband with this particular situation in your marriage life.

What is the age of your elder son? Does he understand what ADHD means? Meeting with a Counselor - to ask questions, to obtain more information of how his brother's condition may affect him - what he can expect from his younger brother. The family may also need to work with a Counselor to help with the "difficulties" that will arise w/a child in the family who has ADHD. Plans on how to handle conflict, make time for family "togetherness" and diverting the demands of parental attention by the younger son in ways that do not slight the elder son. There will be a lot to experience by EVERYONE in the family - find ways to reduce stress, tension and focus on teaching the younger son what to do, rather than reacting on what not to do. Mostly, make sure both sons know that ADHD is no one's fault and everyone can learn ways to improve the problems it causes.
My daughter has tried to commit suicide twice. Can a counselor help us?

Absolutely! Your daughter needs to find someone "safe" to talk to and an adult that she can depend on to listen to her - without being judgemental - that would be a counselor. Find one who works with suicidal young as well and do this as soon as possible. Also don't question her about the sessions, but driving her to and from is a good idea so that you can be available if necessary for counselor consultation. This would be a "start".
