My sister-in-law is doing better. She's had 5 or 6 ect treatments. The hospital wants to discharge her on Friday. But 2 days ago she said her mom was in her or something to that effect. Her mom has been dead for 5 years. I guess at times she thinks she is her mom. So we don't think she is ready to be released. My father in law is a huge part of the problem. She has lived with him for a few years because of her addictions to alcohol and drugs. He has some very severe control issues among other problems. He follows her around the house complaining about everything she does. He's like a pit bull dog that won't stop. I know she is part of the problem also.
In a few days we are going to Colorado for a week. I'm afraid if she gets out of the hospital her sisters will ask her to go. I don't want her there because she's a huge drama queen. I told my wife last night that if her sister goes I'm not going. I don't think I can handle the drama. I will have no way to escape. My two other sisters in law and their families are going as well. There will be 13 people staying at the same house. 4 of those people are between the ages of 8 and 4 years old. I have some major concerns about my not being able to escape with out adding the other sister-in-law into the mix. Thanks

Hello- I am new to the group

Jay's podcasts are really good. I watch them on YouTube for free. Today, I watched his video about motivation. In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject. Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence: I am stuck because? I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired. When I have energy, I do...
As for the looming family gathering, 9 adults together? Really? Sounds a little loaded to me, especially if one of the adults just got out of ect treatment. Maybe you could pass on going because you have to have emergency eyebrow transplant surgery or something, anything, you know?
Keep a rental car handy.
If the sister really want to help, getting her into a rehab facility , away from "Dad" might be a better place to maintain the affects of her treatment.
