Have any of you ever been in a situation where your partner or your family didn't like your therapist? Or didn't approve of the changes you were making in therapy? What did you do? What about if your therapist thought your family was unhealthy, but you couldn't leave? How did you deal with that? Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.

I've been having problems in my marriage for a little while now. My h doesn't express any feelings either way about my therapist, but he does make snide comments sometimes about how much therapy costs. Things are not rosy in my marriage at the moment either; he refuses to go to couples counseling, and I have been thinking about divorce for the past couple months. I haven't talked to t about it, because we aren't having regular appointments anymore and scheduling one just to talk about this, I think will make it all too real. And I don't know if that's what I really want!! I have not mentioned the idea to h at all. And then there's our son to think about. The biggest problem in my marriage right now is that my husband does not respect my feelings. It seems like he would be happy if I went back on the meds that dulled my feelings and turned me into a robot, that I was on when I was still battling depression. Sorry to blather on so much. I just so relate to your post right now.
