[quote=Anonymous]OP, you learn a LOT about people during births, weddings, funerals.  Hear this, know this.  My MIL exactly.  It's about her.  Or so she thought.  In our case, DH was always trying to please his birth family.  Thankfully, because that is how he became successful.  Now that he has no one to "please" (under duress or abuse), he is kind of agitated and acts out a bit.  He actually feels lost, having all this support! My biggest challenge is reminding him this is NOT his birth family.  I wonder if abuse victims seek abuse after they are in the clear, in some strange way?

Unfortunately, I have had to do a lot of homework on my own (I have close friends that are professionals).  ITA that therapy would be the best - if you can find the right therapist.  That is the key.  You don't want anyone that necessarily could pick sides, or be "charmed" by a delightful spouse (DH), as we have had to go through.  It's a lot of work, but I have faith that your DH will realize his birth family has its flaws.  In my case, DH's family made my family look stellar! :)
