[quote=Anonymous]I recommend solo therapy, but you should also tell the therapist that you would like to at least attempt to involve your mother--you and the therapist will likely do some work together before you extend an invitation to her, to find out what you want from the joint counseling and to prepare for her answer either way. I don't think it's necessarily foolish to attempt working with her. Your relationship with her is important to you and taking steps to try to salvage it shows that. She may not be able to respond, but making the effort will help you determine how to handle her going forward. FWIW, my therapist actually suggested that I bring my mom into our therapy and said it was sometimes helpful. (I declined, so I don't have an experience to share).[/quote]
