I'm glad you don't have that ex anymore either, sanityseeker! I think any illness is a personal thing; I remember my girlfriend's father trying to show everyone his gallbladder operation scar when we were older teens. There's always going to be "crazy" people with illnesses like ours but no one is going to mention they have diabetes or high blood pressure, LOL. I would have just looked confused at your sister-in-law and explained that the woman who killed her husband was psychotic and you are not. . . but excuse you while you go kill your ex-husband for discussing your personal medical history and putting such frightening images in her head.
