[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry OP.  This is a really hard and sad situation, but I think [b]the positive here is that you recognize that there is a problem and you want to solve it[/b].  [b]It's a shame that your husband is so unsupportive [/b]and rejects family therapy.  I think this is something you need to insist on.  [b]Can you show him this post?[/b]  Can you do anything to show how serious you feel about it?  If not, I think therapy for you and DD will be helpful than nothing. He can refuse to go but he can't prevent you from going, or from bringing your daughter.

My mom and my sister were like this.  My mom is emotionally immature and her personality and my sister's just clashed.  As an adult and parent, I'm shocked at what my sister had to endure. Props to you for wanting to fix this.  My mom would probably be a much happier person if she had gone to therapy.[/quote]

The OP never said she wanted to solve it. She asked people for a sign.

I bet the daughter doesn't think that her father is unsupportive.

I would not show DH this post - he would probably be appalled.

The OP believes her DH and DD are the problem. I wonder what it would look like if we asked them.

OP can you approach the situation with some curiosity and compassion? I agree you might need a new therapist. Remember how much control you have over the situation. If you didn't *think* any of this was a problem, it wouldn't be. (Guessing that's exactly how your DH sees it.) It's not the circumstances that are the problem, it's your thinking. You have control of your brain.
