[QUOTE="DDD, post: 468481, member: 35"] You know you can count on my prayers and support. I'm glad the appointment has finally arrived so you won't have to stay on pins and needles. I don't know how long your appointment is going to last. I don't know if your therapist is already fully aware of the situation. I don't know if you will have time enough to allow husband to speak one on one with the therapist. There's a heck of alot I don't know. on the other hand I do know something about sales. The presentation of your well thought out ultimatum could be key to success. "If you allow your Mom to come I am leaving" is harsher than "husband you and I have been together for x years as a team. I have explained many times to you that I know having your Mom come to our home would change our lives in a terrible way. In all fairness I need you to understand that I truly can not live in a shared household." Yes, I know, he should have already grasped the reality. I don't believe he has. With his personality I fear that a harsh simple statement will be received as a rejection of him. He does not know how to cope with rejection. Heck, he's not good at coping with stress period. I think the situation requires a truthful but soft approach that focuses him on your team. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
