Hey Jackie
In one of those topics maybe you could talk about how to deal with infertility in a healthy way. Instead of blaming yourself or your spouse and getting angry – learning how to accept it and to embrace alternate forms of family planning and family making.
One other thing to throw in there – maybe with the boundaries topic – how to fine tune our people-pickers in order to surround ourselves with good people.
