[quote=Anonymous][quote]It is slightly frustrating dealing with a family that refuses therapy. One person can not move mountains. Have you tried? Were you successful? Do tell!

Do you "force" your DH to reject them entirely? Or do you try to "play nice" the once per year that you communicate? Can you answer any of this?

I haven't heard anything that indicates his family needs therapy.  Therapy for what? Not having the relationship with you and your DH that you desire?  That's not their problem, that's your problem.  You need to accept your MIL doesn't want the relationship you desire and you need to stop pushing it on your DH.  If the current relationship bothers him, he should go to therapy to help him come to terms with it.  If he was abused as you claim, he definitely should go because he's probably very conflicted (I speak from experience having been abused and having years of therapy).  If you can't let it go, you should go to therapy to figure out why you can't.[/quote]
