[quote=Anonymous]We finally got MIL to go to therapy after asking for almost 2 years. It didn't happen until after there was an epically enormous fight and we told her we didn't want to have any further contact with her (or she with our kids) until she agreed to therapy. She held out for 20 months before she agreed to go. We are all going now (it has been she & DH, she & me, and now all three of us). It was an ugly process but it's actually helping, I think. Mainly - honestly - bc the therapist is validating OUR feelings that she is unreasonable and unfair an dpunitive. It's nice to have someone else, on the outside, agree with what we've been thinking. If nothing else it makes us feel better. Oh, and we let her pick the therapist- otherwise, it never would have worked. [/quote]
