[quote=Anonymous]DH started therapy recently and has had a lot of issues come up regarding his parents and sister that he has backburnered. Favoritism towards his sister being one of the main things, but other issues of neglect and him feeling like an outsider and unloved and unsupported also. He wants to cut ties with them, something his therapist fully supports. He keeps asking if I think it's unreasonable based on the fact that being around them no longer (if it did at all) makes him feel good? I am not sure how to  respond, family sucks sometimes but I grew up taking my lumps no matter what. Family is family. I don't want to impose my views on his though. I'm just worried this is going to cause irreparable damage. Don't get me wrong, they are terrible people. Rude, racist, hate everything and everyone and are completely cold. But again, family is family. I'm worried this is gonna topple on me since my husband wants to cut them out but not talk to them about the issues. Anyone else have DH say no more? I want to support him but I also would prefer he try to repair not shield himself for protection.[/quote]
