[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The decision was something to make after the lecture so no need for a response.  The fact that you saw that as a very serious personal slight means that you are distorting reality at this point.  She was probably right on with the psychotic comment at Christmas because your actions or over reactions are some outside the norm.

You have been through a lot. Get help for yourself. If you do not have time for therapy, go and at least get something like xanax. It will help immensely and you feel better.

Having been a single working mom with a toddler in the past, its tough and the bandwidth to deal with other's issues is very limited so you just don't.

In regards to your sister not dealing with your DH, she is on the outside looking in and you are in the thick of things. [b]Your DH's behavior was likely even more scary or concerning that you realized.[/b]  From her vantage point, she saw something that made her very concerned. Respect her decision and do not push.  You should have never told your depressed and anxious DH of her reaction either.  It's not something he needed to know.

New poster here. I don't know what happened.  But when my brother had a nervous breakdown or whatever you call it these days, it had involved a weekend long drinking spell, where he battered his girlfriend, and they drove for hours with him threatening to commit suicide.   He threw himself out of the car, and OD's on a tranquilizer drug.  The nervous breakdown was integrally wrapped up in his completely toxic relationship with his girlfriend.    So you can't just take a breakdown in isolation.  She may be very concerned with whatever is surrounding it.  Has he been mean to you or the kids, for example?  That type of thing.   [/quote]
