Looking for a Marriage Counselor?

Hang in there. I was so touched by your post that I just want to put a word of encouragement out there for you. Unfortunately, I do not have a therapist in mind. I just want to tell you not to give up in talking to your husband and letting him know how truly hurt you are. Don't give up. My mother had to deal with in-laws that were very rude and confrontational. My dad did not necessarily have a spine for that but he just withdrew from family functions. I don't know the perfect solution. I hope you both find a way to move past this.
p.s. I noticed you were into scrap booking. Do you go to classes or any groups for it. I wanted to get more involved in scrapping. Good luck with everything.

Hi Felica,

My aunt had the same problem with my uncle's family. Especially his mom.(She was a very difficult mother-in-law). My aunt put up with her for years until she could not take it anymore and finally told her husband that his mom was not welcome in their home ever again. I would hate to see you get to that point. My thought would be to sit down with your husband and talk about it. Tell him you love him don't want there to be hard feeling with his family now or in the future so you want to set some guide lines for your family. Encourage him to help make the guide lines so it's not just your rules. He will be more likely to help enforce the rules since they are his rules also.

I am a 40 year old SAHM with an 11 month old daughter who is alos very independent. She gets that from me....

Ina Mlekush is wonderful! My husband and I use her as our marriage counselor. I think every married couple needs a marriage counselor to work through issues when they come up rather than getting stuck in a rut. She is a MFCC and a sex therapist. She has a really open mind, really listens to the problems, and helps you come up with solutions. She has really flexible hours, too. Her number is ###-###-####.

I went to see Kimberly at Oasis Counseling, they are on 83rd ave and Thunderbird. I believe they do family/marrage counseling. I really liked goin there and it helped me when I was going through some family stuff, good luck.
