[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP:  Are you surprised at theses responses?
I come from a large family and have been talking out loud about my bipolar illness and have been avoided and treated with cruelty bt them.  It is my belief that my disclosure may made them uncomfortable with their own potential struggles (that may be true in your case). The sad thing is that 2 of them are Drs.  Mental Illness is considered shameful to all 10 in my immediate family.  
My anger with your post makes me also want to call you names (ignorant, mean, prejudice).
However, in an effort to be part of the solution, why don't you educate yourself as to how to help her.  NAMI is a great place to start.  Research by finding people who could help YOU become an effective resource for your family.  Maybe you could find books that could back up your concerns.  I am unaware if an intervention is available for this type of problem.  
In my situation, the wheels are falling off in many of my siblings lives and I don't look like such a crazy person anymore.
It sound like your SIL needs a mood stabilizer (Lamictal).
I hope you become part of the solution.
