Stressed

My depression and anxiety is bad right now due to being triggered by toxic family.  My sister seems to think I should be putting up with her daughter who is bipolar and refuses to help her condition. My sister verbally attacked me yesterday for not allowing her daughter to come around where I live.  She refuses to have her at her house, but yet expects me to deal with her.

I don't like my parents too. I heard sometimes they are speaking badly about me. Calling me names. Where I try to help them as much as possible because they are so helpless.

Yes that's not r8ght when your own family talks bad about you. My sister called me an ugly name yesterday, which is bullshit because she needs to help her daughter it's not my responsibility. Yes we have helped her daughter so much already it's old now.

I'm sorry that you're struggling with your neice China

I agree that this should mainly be up to her parents but if she's an adult it's really up to her

Unless she's seen as a threat to herself or others there's nothing that can be enforced

She's entitled to make poor choices unfortunately

I agree that boundaries are important

I'm sorry to read that you've been hurt as well Peter

Big hug...xo

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
