So my Cousin has been in hospital for over 2 weeks now on life support after smashing in his skull and having brain surgery for a blood clot on the brain.

Yesterday was the first day that he has come round and it was very touch and go.

I of course was over happy me and my cousin are very close he is more like my big brother.

Anyways his Partner who is not very nice another thread had to report to SS rushed to the hospital to go and see him when he came round and my cousin's half brother and sister ( not related to me) basically told her to fuck off she was not welcome. Which to be honest I am not that bothered about as alot of things have been said as to how my cousin fell down the stairs and the police are involved.
Now my Uncle has been told not to come either even through he is my cousins Dad not sure why he ain't welcome.

But now my whole family are all arguing and wanting to fight with each other they all think that they are my cousins next of Kin and that they can say who can and can't go to the hospital, It seem's everyone is forgetting the fact that my poor cousin nearly died and that instead of stressing him out with this see what he bloody well wants.

I am so fed up as all sides phone me complaining about the other side and I couldn't give a rat's arse I am more worried about cousin and whats going to happen now. As he has extensive back injury's not sure if there is much damage to the brain etc.

SO AIBU not to give a shit about who is and isn't allowed to see my cousin but just happy that he is awake and not dead.

I really don't want to get involved even through people that can't see him want me to talk to him and inform him as to what is going on which I don't want to do as it may upset him.

GRRRR
RANT OVER

All you can do is try to not get involved in their arguements, and do your best to keep calm. Maybe they'll calm down a bit now, the stress since the accident must have unhinged people a bit.
Your cousin most definetly doesn't need any of this hassle, so your only concern really is him, and how you protect him from that.
Good luck and glad he's on the mend.

Thanks potoftea. Its still a hard one as for some reason they all run to me about it.

They probably run to you because you are the only sane one among them.

When they start just point out what you've pointed out to us - that everyone should be thankful he appears to be on the mend.

Could you all not just organise a rota system - who visits when - kind of thing so each side doesn't have to bump into each other. Surely your cousin would want to see his dad - or is that a situ for another thread?

Sorry this is going on for you.

P.S. Did SS contact cousins dp?

sb6699 I am not sure if that would work. I need to find out the reason why they don't want his DP there. Which I will do tonight when I get to the hospital.

I have no clue as to why my uncle can't go I know his and my cousins relationship is not normal father and son they see each other every once and while but the brother and sister never see my cousin at all and found out from myself that he was in the hospital.

Its all such a mess.

As for SS she has not mentioned them coming round but that is no surprise its not the first time a member of my family has contacted them about concerns involving the children.
