Suggest Treatment For Emotional Disturbance In A Person With Bad Past
Question: My daughter made a big mistake in her late teens. She almost was a victim of white slave prostitution. Thankfully, she knew where she was & was able to call a friend who rescued her.
She is a wonderful mother of 3 & has a good husband.This is still in her mind & she admits it affects her behaviour.
She just recently (she is now 42) finally talked to me regarding the details.
She said that she has wanted to talk to her husband. I advised that she should never tell her husband but venture to speak with a professional.
