[quote=Anonymous]NP here.  I skimmed the long posts, but OP, we are in the same situation.  Dh was abused by two siblings.  Mother was checked out (still is) and happy about it, expecting some sort of accolades.  ICK.  FIL was hostile and checked out.  MIL became P/A as a result.  MIL harbors a TON of anger, as do the abusive siblings.  Remaining siblings have removed themselves from the picture, essentially.

Know that you are not alone.  It is EXTREMELY difficult when a family is so secretive, but abusive families are.  They don't want anyone to know!  It doesn't take much to figure it out, once you see them in action.  They are fooling no one.

We tried a therapist, which ended being f*cked up herself - inviting DH to "group sessions" and encouraging him to lash out at me.  Nightmare scenario.  My advice:  don't take part in any "Imago" BS or practitioners.  In fact, stay away from practitioners in VA.

Post if you find a good one. DH is very charming, and would rather talk shop with his therapists, so we have thrown money away doing that, unfortunately.  A male practitioner may be less judgmental, IME.

You are not alone.  I wish you peace and good people.  It is an uphill battle.  [/quote]
