Tantrum in Journal

I talked with my therapist today and, I told her of my worries and issues with my husband. I told her that I feared that his family is taking advantage of him, that he is being used by them for profit and gain, that they don’t care about him or me or their grandchild, and that our family is suffering greatly due to this.
She told me “Sounds like you should act like his brother.”
Huh?
“Yeah,” she continued “He doesn’t like confrontation- his brother certainly knows how to get his way.”
Well, that is true- I agreed reluctantly. I hesitated before continuing. I just think that coming from a place of concern, with evidence, reasonable arguments, is the best way to change his mind.
“And- has that worked? she asked pointedly.
… No, I admitted.
“Right.” she paused to gaze at me. “He isn’t going to change. You’re the one that has to change.”

At the end of the session, she asked me in a concerned tone, “Did I push you too much?”
No… no, I said, although really I think maybe just a little too much. I wasn’t sure to tell the truth.
“Okay. Well, you have great awareness. I’m confident that you’ll figure it out.” she told me.
