[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 236051, member: 2315"] I fell into that when we first started therapy for difficult child 1 many years ago. I was being painted as the unyeilding, overprotective villian by both husband and difficult child 1 and I still didn't talk. Finally I did speak my side of the issues and WOW the therapist was totally turned around and realized that I was not the problem. Sometimes we get so unsure of ourselves when we are secondguessed and told we are so off by our difficult child's and husbands that we doubt our own feelings. But you need to give voice to them. Let the therapist get the whole picture. Why go if you do not speak of your problems and issues? Definately TALK about it all, you are paying them to listen and what you say is confidential. If you are afraid of husband's outbursts you could do it when he isn't there and leave the therapist to mediate. It took me a while to realize that I was not put on this planet to be abused ridiculed and neglected but rather to be honored respected and treasured. Once I truly realized that my life got way better. I am hoping the same for you. -RM [/QUOTE]
