6 months ago my sister in law came to live with us. She has been diagnosed with "delusional disorder", but is in complete denial. We have taken her for complete medical evaluations (she is physically healthy) and have her under the care of a psychiatrist who prescribes Prozac and clonazepam. We will be going to our first NAMI support meeting this month and hopefully family to family classes starting next month. Her delusions are often related to the safety of her grown daughter (she must have contact with her multiple times a day) and money (she believes she is receiving a very large sum of money ( the source changes as needed). She has some odd twitches and tends to isolate herself when possible. She has not been able to get a job. This far we have limited our expectations. As times goes on though, I find myself getting resentful of the lack of privacy. She takes our mail from the mailbox, enters all rooms, rifles through spaces freely when she is looking for something. Would it be too stressful on her if I set some clear boundaries and house rules? I feel "mean" even asking such a question!
