[quote=Anonymous]In my husband's case, I found that seeing a therapist actually made him angrier with his parents. It opened his eyes to new ways in which they suck. It also helped him work on his response (the only controllable part of the mess) and his boundaries. So I strongly recommend it, it's helped him a LOT and it's helped our relationship a lot for him to be more focused with his irritation instead of spreading it around and letting it affect our relationship. BUT, there have been some really tough conversations for him and I think it's made him distance himself from both parents. I think it's the right thing for him in terms of his mental health, but it's not like he's really happy every day now that he's started the process. You'll have days when you feel worse for having stirred everything else. In the long run, it will definitely help you in ALL your relationships. [/quote]
