I feel like I kind of dropped off the face of the earth for the past few days, but it was for a good reason...DH and I were able to get away with some friends for a long weekend! One of our friends won a free stay at a home in St. George, UT and invited us and three other couples to come along. We went down Thursday after work and just got home tonight.
It was so nice to get away...honestly, it was just what I needed! We spent some time at the pool, went to the movies, ate tons of good food, played games, and spent an evening down in Vegas. It was such a carefree time...until...family drama.
DH and I both had family drama issues crop up on our sides of the family. Without going into too many details, I got a fb message from my sister that was sent to my other siblings and me. She basically said that she was disowning us because she thinks that we consider her to be the black sheep of the family. Her boyfriend/fiance also posted some pretty bad things about my family on fb, which were all untrue. I don't know what to do with my sister. She is bipolar, and she apparently hasn't been taking her meds, so it isn't like she is just purposefully trying to be this way. It is so hard to see my family hurt by how she acts, especially when I know it isn't really her.

I often feel the same way in my family, though I just hide during those times. Bipolar is a VERY difficult disease, both for the bearer and the loved ones. I know how hard it is. I am glad you got away though, and I hope you find a way to help your sister. HUGS.
ReplyDeleteVERY difficult. I've cut off all contact with my sister, especially as my family is supporting her to not get any help. She's exactly like my mother, who is finally getting some help and medication (after making my childhood hell), so admitting that my sister has a problem is too much like openly acknowledging my mother has a problem (they never told me my mother was getting help, but they're not tidy people and last time she visited she left empty prescription bottles behind - I looked up the prescribing doctor and the medications). Anyway, it's a shame this had to interfere with your nice weekend; you deserve one so much!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that sounds like a difficult drama! I'm so glad you enjoyed your weekend though, great to hear you are feeling happier! (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about the family drama. I hope that everything works out for the best. I'm glad you had a good weekend away, though.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your family drama, but I'm glad you got to get away from all of it for a little while. Thanks for your sweet comment. ~ICLW
