So effing stressed right now.. MIL is all worried about her bipolar son, she asks me for advice as far as what we do to help keep his mania not turn into psychosis.. I say, I don't know.. now is the time to call his T (who happens to be my T) and she just doesn't. Luckily BIL sees T tomorrow. I have an email composed to T, as he knows I have been a primary "care taker" when it comes to BIL getting into the hospital dealing with his bipolar, etc.. but it doesn't feel like my place. I am just going to ask him to call MIL anyways.. I know that I am somebody that in general is able to reach out for support when I need it (sometimes I can be stubborn, I know) but- I don't get people who are looking for help, but won't reach out to those people who can give them the help that they need. I am just frustrated, because I know where this is going to end up, and its going to me and my H dealing with his psychosis and getting him hospitalized and I don't want to do that again.
