My Dh has suffered with depression for about 3 years now, he just get his head sorted and she starts again. Today she had a row with SIL about niece's 18th birthday and that fact that her ex-h will be there (sil and Dh's real dad) She then phoned up DH and started on about us taking SIL's side and how she does nothing right and should be in a home. She makes DH so depressed and then his head goes funny again for ages. I said to Dh that if it carries on I will tell her to stop all contact with us because everytime he sorts himself out she pulls him back down. I am getting sick of her whinging on about how no-body cares for her, and about her imaginary illnesses. I have enough on my plate without her behaving like a child everytime something doesn't go her way.
