My sibling has bad mental health and has for years.
Long history of self harm and overdoses, relatively stable over last few years.
One parent is seriously ill and today we’re were told they are withdrawing care. Myself and other parent are in agreement with this.
Sibling is not and response to being told this news was to overdose at the hospital and then pass out next to parents bed. Leading to a pile on from nursing staff and poor parent having to be moved room while they deal with it..
Other parent was not at the hospital at this time. So I am there on my own processing my feelings about the news and then having to deal with sibling who was pretty much unconscious and rushed down to a&e.
i am a single parent of two teens, i need to support them through this and my remaining parent. I don’t have capacity to deal with this as well. I appreciate they cannot handle the news but it’s not unexpected.
does anyone have any advice as to how to deal with this scenario where you are juggling these two things.
