[quote=Anonymous]"For me it would be a matter of being able to see BIL for myself a few times but certainly not automatically saying "hey, he's family, we don't want to shun him because he's mentally ill." You are still your children's parent and I think it's completely reasonable for you to get to know your BIL and assess his behavior and THEN decide what the proper course of action is and what's safe for your children. Not all mental illnesses pose a problem, but this one has the potential to cause problems. So no, I don't think you're overreacting in the short term, but your DH probably wants to hear a little bit of hope for the future." I completely agree. And in terms of what 10:02 said, it is not just a matter of actually being in danger, it is also a matter of his behavior scaring the kids. I've been around several people during psychotic episodes, and even as an adult who knew what was going on it was scary and unnerving. [/quote]
