About 10 or 15 years ago, someone told me that many (he used the word most) gays were abused as children. Don't know how true it is, but it appears that if that hypothesis is true, and I've seen it repeated here on FR, then her parental counseling will probably be far worse than good.
But on the other hand, it that abuse was at the hands of another (not the parents) the counseling could lead to the kid opening up and busting some cretan.
