It takes a lot, and a lot out of you. Psych patients need a lot of rest, good nutrition, meds, and no alcohol! As well as a great doctor. When it comes to you and your man, do what you can.....but remember there's a new one to consider. Only you can decide on how deep you really want to be involved. Sometimes, just for your own sanity and the family's well being.....you need to step away. Is there other people in the family willing to put up with her? If so, maybe you all can share the responsibility of taking care of her. If not, know that it's ok to separate yourselves from her. How much can you really take? And how much should you put up with is an answer only you and your husband can make. Good luck. (I have seen a lot of psych patients in the E.R..) |
silver! thanks for the info. We have more or less washed our hands with her. I just feel bad for my husband. But on the other hand he feels the same way. To bad you dont work in the ER here you would probley know her she's in there almost everyday......more so when she's having a spell, they have even kicked her out a couple of times. As for the rest of the family.....there pretty much done also you cant help someone who dont want help its pointless.
