how a counselor can help with family relocation

When my job forced me to move my family across the country, my teenage son didn't adapt very well. He resented me for choosing my job over his school and his friends. It made things very challenging for the entire family. After trying to deal with things without any assistance for a few months, I finally got smart and reached out to a counselor for help with my son.
