How do you convince a non-abusive family member to see an abuse counselor if they do not believe there is abuse in the family?

All you can do is to point out what YOU consider to be the abuse that's taking place and why YOU consider it abusive conduct -- after asking to be heard on the subject by the family member in question. And all you can do is urge the person in question to address whatever is going on IF they hear you out. But they're only going to take steps to address a problem if THEY consider it to be a problem in their family -- it's not something that can be forced. Maybe if you broach the subject again, you can offer up some literature (pamphlets, books etc) re the abuse in question. Unless children are the subject of abuse, I think no matter how much you care or what your views, if an adult is a victim of what you consider to be abusive, all you can really do is say your piece and let that adult make up their own mind as to what constitutes an acceptable relationship for that person at that time. By forcing the subject or intruding without exercising diplomacy, you risk alienating the family member and isolating them from your support if there is abuse taking place, so tread carefully.
