1. Be very proactive in seeking a counselor for your children when you have even an inkling that it might be necessary.
2. Any counselor that will afford you more information than absolutely necessary is at least unprofessional and probably unethical.
3. Give your kids some space and let them develop a relationship with a counselor they can trust, completely outside your earshot.
4. The brain is an organ, no less important than the heart, the colon, or the skin.
5. At a minimum, counseling should be part of an exit strategy.
6. Often, the spouse that accuses the other of being mentally ill is as crazy as he or she believes the other is.
7. A marriage is not a competition to see who can be more verbally, physically, or emotionally abusive. Your having a condition does not make your spouse have to have one just to make things fair.
