Do you need marriage counseling or marriage advice because your relationship is in trouble? Are your kids acting out and you could use parenting aid? There's a very, very high likelihood that verbal or emotional abuse is at the root of these problems-even if it's not apparent to you. Because if you or your spouse grew up with mental or psychological abuse - even if it was subtle - then you are hurting from the childhood abuse in your family. Probably, as a result, your husband or wife is verbally or emotionally abusive to you or your kids right now.
