My wife is so anti-counseling, against support groups, or any form of self-help. She believes a person should just keep their feeling in and deal with things alone.
My wife has seen hard times (she took care of dying mother as a teenager, her first husband died when she was 22, etc) so she used these things as an excuse to drink.
Our daughter has anxiety issues and our daughter's therapist wanted us to do family counseling and it was like pulling teeth to get my wife to attend.
She is dead set in her beliefs.
