Question:

My sister is bipolar and i have recently stopped all contact with her. she started using drugs and being very?

mean and abusive. she gave her son to me and i kept him for 4 months because she was going crazy she said with him. well she then would come over and start talking all normal then she would just freak out and start attacking me physically and verbally. she threatened to kill me and started talking about killing people and her son and guns. i had to physically fight her to get her to not leave with her son because she was talking about hurting people and i was just so scarred she would hurt him. well after this happened my family thought i was wrong for keeping her from her son and they said they would have acted the same way if i did this to them. but she was acting this way before that is why i did this. but anyways she now has her son back and is still on drugs and he is constently missing school and i am afraid for him. my family tells me to stay out of it that they will handle it but they are only falling for her lies. well she started breaking in to my house when i wasn't home

well i have threatened to call the police if she sets foot on my property again. and i refuse to have any contact with her. my other sister and parents think that i am wrong for this they think that she is my sister and i should stick by her no matter what. but should i . when i have anything to do with her i get so stressed out and it causes problems between me and my husband. not to mention that i don't feel safe because she is always attacking me. we can't even sit down for five minutes without her freaking out and threatening to kill me. her ex husband had to pull her off of me while she was freaking out and told me she would kill me. she refuses to stay on her meds. we used to be so so close but now she just freaks out and i just don't know what to do. i have been told that i am a horrible person for abandoning her but that comes from family that is hundreds of miles away and only talk to her on the phone. what do yall think i should be doing.

Hi:

I am sorry you are going thru such a hard time with your sister. It is hard and painful. I have Bipolar also and it is a siease that is not to be taken lightly.

Please protect yourself by calling the police and report her. No one should sit back and be abused and tolerate it family member or not and mental illness or not. She needs to be reported. And you need to protect yourself at all times.

If she will not seek help on her own or by the recommendations of others, then possibly and IEA may be the action to make her get the help she needs. An IEA is an Emergency Involuntary Admission. She will have no choice in the matter at all.

Both your sister and her son need psychiatric help. If you family is beielving her lies and getting all caught up in the pitty me act, and if you feel you can do this, then by all means go for it. Not only will you be saving her, but her son, yourself and others. Its a big responsibility so please make sure you have support.

If at any time you need support, want to talk, need a shoulder to cry on (I have 2 shoulders you can have), contact me, my info is in my profile please use it at any time and I will do my best for you. But please remember, you can't take care of anyone else unless you take care of yourself first.

I'll keep you in my prayers

Be safe and be well,
