[quote=Anonymous]My cousin and I are both 50. We are three weeks apart in age. We are both white women. I have one sister four years older. She has one sister four years ago. In the early 1990s my cousin moved to LA. Her family still financially supports her. Her father bought her a new car last year. She has fits of uncontrollable rage, which have caused her to be thrown out of a bar now and then.

Years ago, I suggested to her when I blocked her calls and emails, that she had a personality disorder requiring medication. I went peaceful years without seeing or talking to her. Unfortunately I mistakenly posted when I was in Anaheim for a work conference. She showed up. I had no choice but to be polite to her. I was afraid she would cause a scene.

I am just wondering why no one in our immediate or extended family thinks she needs mental health help besides me. I tried visiting her a few months ago. Her place was a disaster, hoarding seemed to be a problem, stuff on every possible space. She has a young adult daughter. The trip included her my cousin flying into a fit of rage while she was driving.

I don't know what else I can do. I didn't want to not speak to her for years. [/quote]
