I have suggested therapy to H. He just started therapy right before ex-T abandoned me. When she abandoned me, he quit. With my sister, I did encourage her going to therapy after it was court ordered. I did, however, suggest a crisis house to her when she was having a breakdown, and she went. It was a good experience for her. I've also suggested therapy to my mom, but she keeps coming up with excuses: money, insurance, time, etc. None of which are actual valid excuses so I just stopped.
