[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Counselling is not recommended with an abuser. They can (and will) use what you say in therapy against you. Don’t do it. [/quote] Thank you. This is contradictory to advice I received from an attorney consult that suggested not doing so would show an unwillingness to cooperate. Not hiring that attorney, I guess.[/quote] Do you have clearly documented evidence of abuse? In writing or recordings are best, but even written records near the time of the incidents is good. If you need to prove "cooperation," then you show that to any good counselor and the counselor recommends your abuser get individual counseling (with someone who is not a couple's counselor) before they will see you as a couple. Then if your abuser won't do that work - and unless he's really going to change there's NO reason he will do that work - he's the one "unwilling to cooperate." Plus the evidence will be useful for court.[/quote]
