[quote=Anonymous]I think your DH needs to ask his mom, especially if she is still exhibiting signs of mental illness, if she'd be open to trying therapy, or at the very least medication, before she hosts your child. Some people from that generation, and their parents, were/are not open to going for counseling. I'd hear stories in my family about so and so seeing a therapist and quitting after a few sessions. They couldn't stomach it for some reason (one relative even declared that "no one in our family needs to see a shrink!" or something along those lines; I guess there was too much of a stigma attached to it). I think in the end they prefer taking a pill as a quick fix. Find out if MIL is the same. One of my relatives had a similar issue. Needed REAL TREATMENT for decades but never sought it-- only took pills for a "hormonal" issue-- and got really angry when anyone suggested real therapy. [/quote]
