[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should bring this up with the therapist to make sure you heard her right. Obviously, it's legitimate for your husband to feel hurt if he feels like you dislike his family (whether or not your dislike is justifiable.)  Also it's not "throwing you under the bus" to tell your therapist how he feels about it! It's a perfectly acceptable thing to say in therapy, and in fact is what he should be talking about.

That said, obviously you should be allowed to talk about your feelings as well.  [/quote]

+1  I'd definitely circle back and ask for some clarification -- because either there's confusion or you've landed a dud therapist.  MIL should not get a pass on rude/hurtful behavior that is directed toward you.  But, since you're probably never going to get along well, I'd pick your battles.  so she might be a complete nightmare in general, but I'd only address the stuff that directly impacts you -- like saying something nasty or insulting to/about you that you hear in person.  Because that's not okay.  And if DH and the therapist think it is okay, or that you should suck it up because saying something is "hurtful" to DH's tender feelings, well...yikes.

I'd steer very clear of addressing any general behavior/comments or anything not heard directly.  that's the kind of stuff to snark to a friend about.
