[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 428402, member: 1233"] While this may sound odd, I think the therapist is right on the nose. He has to figure out why he won't cross his parents cause that is just not normal. Most adults will do things their parents don't like, not for that reason but because it is what they need/want to do. Your husband has some really odd family dynamics and needs to explore those. He also is going to talk more openly with a male therapist, as well as accept things better from him. He will probably always take input on his lack of doing anything except watch tv and what his parents want him to do as womanly nagging/nitpicking/sticking together rather than the honest and valid criticism that it is. So hearing from a MAN that he is way out of line and has NO right to expect you to do everything while he does what he wants and squanders his salary on himself and doesn't support the family may get some results and maybe even changes his actions and way of stinkin' thinkin'. I am glad the therapist is smart enough to set this in motion. Make sure you have enough sessions of your own with her or someone else so that you can work through your feelings also. [/QUOTE]
