I need clever reasonable resolutions. My sister caused alot of undue stress to our family this summer because she had psychosis episodes. She came to our home 3 times unnanounced in one week where I live with my mum and adult son and my 5 year old grandson. She was shouting, swearing, screaming on the third time because we locked the back gate to prevent her coming in. To prevent her getting in and causing more stress to mum who was ill at the time, my son took my sister outside to calm her down. (He only sees his son once a fortnight) It took 3 hours. She eventually called an ambulance, went to A&E and then was sectioned and sent to a psychiatric hospital where i visited regularly to support her. Now she is out and after treatment is using my mum as an excuse to come round and help care for her. I dint talk to her and my son doesnt want to talk to her either. Each time she has had a psychotic episode (3rd time in 5 years) I have dealt with it. Just to add my sister had these psychosis episodes because she chose to take cocaine on the 3 separate occasions which is what triggered the psychosis. I hoped that her treatment in the psychiatric hospital woukd be the end of it but it has has had an overwhelming affect on my mental health and both her and my mum just expect me to get over it again . Its kinda lije we're past it and you should too.
My mum is now working with her to manipulate me and my sons wishes not to have her over Xmas as we have my grandson then. She has told me she is having my sister over boxing day even though before she said she respected our wishes not to have her over when my grandson is here. She is turning this as usual about it being about her. She said why can't you see this is something I want. I want to see my daughter over Xmas! It's because she wasn't impacted from all the stress and fallout from my sisters psychotic episode. Me and my son dealt with it and kept it away from her. Iv said well it's boxing day and I'm not playing happy families and she said im not asking you too. I said well we'll have to stay up in our room an she said no you don't have to an I said well yes because we wont be coming down or talking to my sister and she saidwell you don't have to!??? She said you can just come down when you want an make a tea etc an then just go back upstairs!!!??
To add further insult to injury, my mum asked 5 mins later...are you going out tomorrow because I need you to get me some things.
I have been her carer for over a year now and my sister as usual, deciding to step up and help out now and playing the victim.
I realise I sound awful and spiteful but I'm not. I just feel emotionally sidelined?
