[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 378227, member: 4264"] Well, I am starting to wonder why I even care, why I worry, why I even want to know whats going on etc. S/O asked me to message his nephew online and ask whats going on, the answer came a little bit ago. "She's in hospital and you two don't need to know anything else". I might not be nice, but I emailed a copy of that to my brother in law and added a note saying "We wish your entire family well and truly hope that sister in law gets real about getting help before it is too late. We accept your stance that you don't want us to be told anything. Please see to it that we do not get any information at all, which is better than "some" information geared to worry us but offering nothing more." I'm done feeling nice, or tiptoeing around "feelings" of those who are going to hop on board the crazy opiate train (Well, they aren't ON the opiates, I merely mean sister in law's crazy train). The closest I've ever seen sister in law to accepting help was a in your face approach that broke down her wall, a in your face accounting (via me and S/O) about what has happened to her, her husband, her children, her mother, her siblings and extended family, her finances, her body, her friendships, etc. It was "this" close to helping her accept the need to go get help. Then in waltzed a couple of them who molly coddle her, and she melted right into the hands of those who want to tell her how wonderful she is etc. If it wouldn't give me a headache, I'd literally bang my head against a wall right now. I'm done. [/QUOTE]
