That's funny, uncle just called elderly family member & Auntie just called him & said she can come home tomorrow. So he said she will probably call you when she is home herself
I know that will of made Aunties life as her worst fear was having to stay there away from Uncle.
I think it's because she's talked the hind legs off the nurses as she always does
Here's to many more times where she's driven me up the wall & down the other side again
Mental illness no matter what one, is a horrific illness to live with for the person who has it & for the people around them. If no one has ever witnessed in person or on the other end of a phone call the terror that people go through when in "crisis" or upset really has not lived.
There is not enough support for people who do have the courage to seek help, & absolutely zero help for relatives or friends of people who are ill. Having contact with someone who was mentally ill who stopped all contact to be called a month later telling them they were sectioned because they took drugs & all their prescribed medication is an eye opener I will never forget (not Auntie)
