[quote=Anonymous]It really did help. Just having someone to talk to made a big difference. DH got so frustrated with hearing me go on about it, and it was taking a toll on our marriage. So it was better that I have the counselor, and then I didn't feel like I was overburdening DH on top of everything else. It also gave me reassurance that it was ok, right, and necessary to distance myself somewhat. She helped me come up with a plan to protect myself and my kids and DH, while still helping my mother somewhat so that I could feel like a good daughter to the extent possible under the circumstances. In my case, the grandmother-grandchild relationship was pretty functional so I did not want to totally cut off contact. So the counselor helped me and DH come up with a plan and stick to it.[/quote]
