Does my child require counseling after the death of her grandmother?
It is good that you are concerned about your daughter. Does she need counseling depends on many factors. Has her behavior changed since the passing of your mother? Did you discuss your mother's situation with your daughter? Is your Daughter asking you questions that you can't answer? Are you okay with discussing the situation with her? Children are usually pretty good when parents present the situation in a form that they can understand. Remember, your Daughter is only six and does not yet have the capacity to understand very complex situations. If she is acting out or her behavior has changed in some way that you can not handle, you might seek professional help. Start by helping her understand the situation. If that doesn't work, ask for professional help. READ MORE

Drinking himself into unconsciousness
You can only control your behavior. It sounds like your husband has decided that his love for alcohol is the number one thing in his life. You can not get someone else to be honest if they don't want to be. You need to do what's best for you. He knows where help is if he wants it. Unfortunately, sometimes people love their addiction more that their spouses or families. Don't give your life away to another persons addiction. Good luck! READ MORE
