[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a question. Is the mental illness of your spouses pretty much hidden and how do they interact with your extended family? I think this is going on with a close relative but he is very secretive. We wish he would open up so we could help in some way.[/quote] DP here. In MIL and DH's case, they are extremely nice to outsiders (ie: not immediate family), but in the immediate family, there is a pecking order or target, that they feel okay to beat up on - sort of a rank and file, is how I would describe it. MIL and DH are HFA, with anger issues. They become very manipulative, such that you can not ask certain questions, and you have to dance around certain realities. MIL taught her DC that to show emotion was "complaining", so of course, there are long term ramifications. [/quote]
