[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, counseling might really help. The PP who mentioned that if it is what he grew up with, it might seem normal. This is something that counseling can really help him with. He might have no idea how far off base their behavior is because he is used to it and also may not share with friends about his parents' behavior. [b]So the only feedback he gets about it is yours.

Good luck. [/quote]

I'm the first poster and I just want to agree with this poster, especially the bolded.  That was a HUGE plus of counseling, too, to be honest.  The therapist was able to weigh in and help DH learn what was and wasn't harmful/weird/destructive/rude behavior from his parents.  Even if the ILs are totally in the wrong all the time, having you be the only one to point that out eventually makes him feel like he's in the middle and it's you versus them.  Hearing someone else to discuss this with was super helpful.  And DH did not talk to friends about this stuff, so it was just me and the counselor.  DH didn't suffer horrible abuse or anything super terrible, his in-laws are just nuts in their own way and sometimes DH didn't see the harm in it (he just distanced himself from them and ignored what he didn't like).[/quote]
