Spoke to dh psychiatrist-useless

Well, my dh said he had an appointment with his psychiatrist this evening, so I contacted the doctor earlier today and mentioned that all is not well at home like my husband says it is and that I am tired of his Jekyll and Hyde behavior. The doc said the only thing that can be done to deal with this is for me to come in on an appointment, but I told him I would be afraid to do that, but the doc says that's the only way this is can be handled, since the doctor told me he can't tell his patient that "I talked to your wife and she is saying you are acting differently at home. " I would have to be part of a session.
So I guess it was a wasted time. But then the other part of me says if I don't go that means I am not willing to try but I am more afraid of the consequences if I sit in this visit.
ugh.

Hi Diana -
I'm going to try and take both posts on here.

Thank you everyone for your opinion. Your're right if I don't go I look like the bad guy, if I go it's bad too. He doesn't know that I spoke to his doctor. However for what it's worth, I've at least put the idea in his doctor's mind that he is not telling the truth. I am hoping the doctor would be skilled enough to ask him the right questions to draw that out of him but who knows. My husband has been making comments left and right about my "attitude" this week so he will probably have an earful to tell this doctor anyway, and the doctor will probably think I'm the crazy one anyway...which I truly am to be tolerating all this.
I guess I'll just wait for the callback from the counseling center next week.
I knwo ALL about that wish that their psyc KNOWS the REAL STORY.
