How do I get my in-laws to accept my offer to go into family therapy? My sister-in-law needs it the most?
Manuel asked:
For years, my sister-in-law has caused problems for us, manipulating her parents as well. I just want to put the offer out there for all of us to go into family therapy to find a way to be a family again. How do I go about it with a family that feels they shouldn’t share their problems with strangers?

You know they most likely won’t accept the therapy, and basically deny there is a problem. However, only you can change the way you react to your sis-in-law. If possible, just have as little contact with her as you can. I know you’ll see the “results of her shenanigans” through your MIL and FIL. However, stay strong, keep in touch with the family, and remember only you can control yourself and actions. Weezilmom
