Simone* - Parentline Client

"My mum and husband have noticed a big change since I spoke with Parentline. I'm a lot calmer and haven't cried in the last week. Before I'd had enough, I was getting depressed and moody and was snappy. I really didn’t want to talk to anyone.

But the counsellor gave ideas and a different insight into why my son may be behaving the way he was. I was able to put things into perspective a little bit more. Parentline helped me understand why he is behaving the way he is and gave me useful strategies that I will implement when the time is right.

I know I can now be more accepting of where my son is at, at the moment. It gave me confidence in what I was doing."
