So you've been having family be the go-between for you two for a while and now it's getting tiring for them? I'm wondering what else you could possibly do. . . Can BIL or MIL 'facilitate' visits by being there so you can leave?
Exactly- it's draining for them.
MIL is a possiblity. I should try that.
What I would REALLY like is to do is get to a place where I don't need a 3rd party. It's humiliating.
Besides what message does it send to him? I think it says I am weak and angry.
