[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry I don't have specific recs in the area, but I did want to suggest that you and DH might want to do a couple sessions with a therapist or family social worker before you get in touch with MIL and make the offer. It could be really helpful to have someone help you systematically work through your goals for a relationship with MIL. What sacrifices are you willing to make to have that relationship? At what point will you know that the relationship isn't worth it? Are you equally invested in this project? If getting back in touch with MIL causes you stress as individual or as a couple, what are your coping strategies? I say this because, for convoluted reasons, my partner and I had to do some counseling sessions even though we weren't having problems as a couple. I was doubtful, but it was actually a really helpful experiences and made us feel like a stronger team.[/quote]
