((((gg)))),
I'm sorry your family is going through so much right now and that it's bringing up all these memories for you.
It seems to me, you are doing everything you can to help. Your inlaws must be very special people. Just continue to make yourself and your husband the priorities in your life. I know it's probably hard to feel like you're simply watching what's happening to your inlaws, but to *some* extent, it has to be that way. You can be there to support them and help them think things through, if they ask for help, but they will make their own decisions in the end and, unfortunately, you and your husband might not agree with them everytime. :(
Continue to be there for your husband (are you still going to counseling together?) and maybe now is a good time for you to lean on your T and Babble for the support you need.

Take care,
Laurie
