Would it be inappropriate to ask her why she doesn't have children? Would that be a boundary violation?
Asking isn't a boundary violation. Insisting that she answer if she deflects the question would be.

As to how someone without children can give advice on parenting - does a therapist have to have been depressed to advise a depressed client? Or have DID to work with someone with DID? Or be bipolar to help someone who's bipolar?
Thanks for this!
