TTC after 35

Vent: DH (Need rec for DC therapist)

Anyone have any good recommendations for a therapist in DC?  It was a really, really rough weekend with DH.  He's acting like a jealous 5 year old of my younger brother and mad because my mom told her DH (my dad) that he couldn't play golf with my DH because she didn't want to get woken up too early. 

It's a bit more complicated than this (there's history there - DH and my mom have never gotten along), but not by much.  DH has completely worked himself into a frenzy and has convinced himself that my mother was somehow acting to specifically stop him from doing what he wants (instead of communicating something to her husband) and has decided that he never wants to see my brother or mother again and the only way to accomplish that is to divorce me.   I'm not too sure why he's decided that my brother is his nemisis, but after a sleepless night I'm way too tired to care. 

We tried couples therapy once.  I don't think that I'll get him back to that.  Right now, I just want someone that I can talk to.  This isn't my husband's first stay in Crazy Town and I'm not sure it's a place I want to visit anymore.  If any DC ladies are on the board today, I'd love some recommendations for good therapists!

  • I'm sorry I don't have recs - as I go to Kaiser - which is a closed system.  But I saw you posted on the local board - so hopefully someone will give you some ideas.

    (((Hugs))

    I'm sorry you are going through this.

  • I am no where near you..I just want to say, getting help is the smart thing to do. I hope someone gives you a good therapist to see (for your DH) sounds like he needs to talk through his issues with someone not so close to the situation.

    ((Hugs))

    Keep us posted on his progress!

  • Thanks to all for your thoughts!  It was a rough night and morning, but seems better now.  He won't go to therapy, but I may still look for someone to see on my own.
