[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow that’s not the way I read her post at all. I have someone in my family like her sister.  It’s no walk in the park. [/quote]

So
You set boundaries, learn to communicate differently, and stay neutral.

If OP knows her sister’s diagnosis, do you think sister doesn’t.

Psychiatric meds have a very low level of  complicate, mostly because they have a very low level of symptom relief. , aside from their agonizing amount of negative side effects (caveat- for those they work for, they are a godsend, but they don’t work for everyone, and in the meantime they feel worse).

If any of to think having someone in your life with mental illness isn’t a walk in the park, consider what it must feel like to be that person.

Perhaps she complains often, but… this post is also one big complaint. No one likes to see themselves as the pot calling the kettle, but sometimes a bit of reflection helps. Are you negating her feelings or validating her? You don’t live her family 24/7 - maybe there’s other reasons that friends can’t come over, like DH doesn’t actually help clean up in the way he says he will or does.

You’re blaming it all on her, and it probably all isn’t, but your own bias about mental Illness is making it that way. You’ve probably had ideas about her from childhood. Time to step back a bit and look in the mirror. She may be challenging, but I trust your obvious hatred and disapproval doesn’t help.  [/quote]
