Bad Situation and I Need Your Opinions; Law Enforcement and Lawyers Please Respond?

Question by Shawn: Bad situation and I need your opinions; Law Enforcement and Lawyers please respond?
Situation:
My father was killed in a motorcycle accident almost a year ago. Since that happened my mothers nerves have been a wreck. She finally began hanging out with friends again and has since met a new group of friends that she spends most of her time with. Around October 2011 she met a man and began hanging out with him exclusively. I was very proud of her for this because she would tell me how this guy is an aspiring pastor and that he’s very religious and that he has a good job. So to this point I’m satisfied with the situation and my younger brothers are as well. Around the beginning of the year she expresses to me that her, now boyfriend, will be moving in with her. I told her that whatever makes her happy I’ll support. My statement of that does have limits though.

Best answer:

I think any of those are fine.. I’d go with either the psych or counseling with the specialization in substance abuse over social work. I think the main thing is to try and obtain a masters, most jobs require that in the psych/counseling field.
