[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were estranged from my DH's family for 4 years. It was glorious! Now there is minimal contact, but still nothing like it was prior to the estrangement.  It really tremendously improved the relationship b/n my DH and I. His family had a very negative impact on our lives for too many years.[/quote]

Same here.  At first, DH felt guilty but a lot of that was because they had conditioned him.  Counseling helped a lot, especially when they refused to respect boundaries or to interact in a respectful manner.  Now, our lives are so much more peace and it's really, really improved our own relationship.   [/quote]

Are you willing to share the name and location of the counselor. We went to one who said no matter how poorly people treat you they are family so that's that. We suspected based on some other things she said this was hitting a little too close to home for her and her own problems.[/quote]

I agree that this is inappropriate. If you substitute physical abuse for the emotional/verbal abuse the in-laws likely caused, then it sounds super crazy. "Sorry that he rapes you Jane, but family is family and you just have to accept it." [/quote]
