Question :

How to help SIL while her DH is hospitalized during manic episode?

my brother (in his 30 s) has bipolar disorder and was admitted into the hospital yesterday mid day (pretty willingly and is doing "fine" all things considered) due to a manic episode. last time, and the 1st time, this happened was 2 yrs. ago. he was more alone that time, but now he s been married since september. dated her about 1 yr before marrying and she knew him for some years prior, but not super close. but yes she knew all about the bipolar going into the relationship. but he s been quite stable and doing well until the past couple of weeks leading up to this. so this is new and somewhat scary for my SIL and I think she s fearing he s not going to return to being the person she knows and loves.
ok my question is how involved as a sister should i be? my parents are extremely involved...sometimes I think too much so. i just got an email from my mom asking "any ideas on what we can do to help SIL?" I am struggling with this a little. he s in the hospital. there s nothing i can do. he s not a child. he s got a wife. no kids. I m not really feeling like I SHOULD be doing anything specific aside from staying in contact with her to offer support through talking and seeing how he s doing. I have a VERY full and busy life with 3 kids, a working husband, several pets, running a daycare in my home (they are napping now!) and I m in the midst of trying to get ready for a week s vacation starting Friday.
I feel like my mom, whose whole life unhealthfully revolves around her grown children s every action, is thinking I and my 2 siblings should be jumping into action to provide all this amazing support to SIL. Frankly, it s kind of ticking me off. I am so sad and sorry that my brother has to suffer his whole life with this illness, but I am not going to let it consume my life as it seems to be my mothers.
Maybe this is more of a vent, but any advice or opinions would be great. Thanks!
Answer :
I completely know how you feel. You re shutting off, because you have enough stress already on your plate, and it s your mechanism of coping. I ve done it, don t feel bad. You can only do so much, you re only human -- just remember it s okay to say no once in a while.
Your mother sounds like mine -- super involved -- expecting everyone to jump and be constantly obsessed 24/7. It s HER way of dealing, I suppose. I always wanted my mother to go into therapy herself for how she reacts to these crises. It s sad, but she s too stubborn, so then we all have to cope.
Try to stay calm, try not to press buttons. Cut things short when you feel you re about to explode. Give yourself space.
Your SIL must have family and friends of her own to fill in gaps of time to deal. Right? Sounds like you are already giving her support. She ll be okay. Your mother is just giving you extra guilt trips. Just let it slide, assure her she ll be fine and you do help her out and will continue to do so. But she needs to understand for you to be okay yourself, and for your family, your kids, you sometimes just need a little space to back away, that s all. So as long as she understands that, or at least hears you out -- I ve noticed my mother backed up a little when I told her that. Good luck, and I hope your brother gets better at least brought back to feeling more himself.
