[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, maybe you should focus on being grateful that you didn't get this highly heritable illness. You can't blame mentally ill people for mentally ill behavior. Its not rational.[/quote]

OP here, legit question, so what does the "normal" one do? Am I never allowed to acknowledge the very real feelings I have because I should be grateful? What do I do with my feelings? Bury them? Constantly cater to others? Won't being the strong one eventually drive me crazy too? Do I just continue on in this twilight zone of a life where no one calls a rose a rose? [/quote]
Different poster. Your venting and telling it like it is would've been more appropriate for your therapist than to just lay on your sister. You are feeling overwhelmed but that's actually not her fault, it's your issue to resolve, fair or not. [/quote]

This is a fair response. Thank you.

Another legit question-- So a person whom you suspect is mentally ill should just be left to their own devices? Permitted to run amuck unchecked and live a deluded life? Do offer an apology for something I said that I totally meant? Give the appearance to the unwell that she is indeed well?

I wouldn't apologize, but I would also lower my expectations of her to zero. She has proven to be incapable of doing what you think she should and being told how you feel about her isn't going to help or change that. You've gotten it off of your best, but I wouldn't travel down that road with her again.[/quote]
