Our insurance covers the hell out of mental health stuff, but then again they figure we're all armed to the teeth and likely to snap and come after them.

I think you should consider a (simultaneous) second website with an entirely different approach, but I'm not a shrink or a parent or someone with a marketing degree.

An entirely different approach like what? The thing is, I'm not a very good or entertaining writer so my blog choices are limited.

Well.... What is the number one complaint that women have about communicating with their spouse? Usually it's that the men try to fix things when the women don't want things fixed- they just want to be heard. Don't offer yourself up as a fixer or project yourself as an Uber Mom who has it ALL under control because that makes you unapproachable and makes people who are struggling feel isolated from your experience. Offer yourself as a place to vent and cry and most especially, to have it go no further. I think most people are very careful about shit talking their spouse because they don't want to poison their friends to that relationship, and how many times have you heard people preface a complaint about parenting with that they love their kids, but...It's natural to need some down time and privacy and to need to unload. I would be cautious of not wanting someone to look at your life from the outside and think, "What could THAT woman possibly know about MY life?" Try a business card with a sink full of dirty dishes superimposed ( ... )

Have you ever considered doing what my gf does--parent advocacy with schools at IEP meetings and such? That would mesh your parent education and psychology backgrounds nicely, and you already have somewhat of a contact list through your workshops.

Does she work for an agency or in private practice?
