Hello Everyone,

You guys are amazing! I apologize for not acknowledging your comments sooner.

My gut tells me not to go to counseling. I've expressed my feelings, as of recent, to my husband about feeling like a target. His response was warm and he said, it's in their court. If she (my MIL) wants us to go to counseling, she needs to set it up.

This was a relief to me, because if my MIL is sincere, she will follow through.

However, I just learned yesterday, that this idea of 'Family Counseling' might be stemming from a private conversation between my husband and his parents. My husband works for his father and has been for 14 years. Money has been tight this year, work has been slow and then add our recent diagnosis...and you have a whole lot of stress. My husband said (to his his parents), if work does not improve in 6 months we (me and him) will be making an exit plan and might be moving to start of own business. After the seizure, this put our lives in perspective and we don't want to be living paycheck-to-paycheck for the rest of our lives.

I share all this, because my husband feels, his Mother is suggesting counseling because she doesn't want to loose her son. I realize this makes no sense.

My MIL has apparently looked into family counseling, but since my last post, nothing has come of it.

This is tough! I'm feeling a little more supported thank to you all.
