There was a full moon this weekend, so that might explain why there was drama, drama, and a little more drama. With my husband's side of the family there are always issues; considering there are 10 people and a baby living in a 3 bedroom 1 bath home, that's to be expected. There were considerably more problems than usual in a time frame of one day.
Firstly, the teenage daughter of my sister-n-law was holding the baby (her niece) and eating a cup of noodles. She spilled it on her causing 1st and 2nd degree burns and they had to take her to the hospital. In what world do you eat hot food or beverages while holding an infant!
Secondly, my lovely sister-n-law somehow managed to allow her 8 year old son to break his arm again! He just got his cast off from the previous break! Come on. They took him to the hospital and were sent home with medicine that made him sick, so they had to go back to the hospital which diagnosed him with pancreatitis. This is just one of the many health problems this poor child has had to endure throughout his life.
Thirdly, my in-law's car has been giving them problems and wouldn't start when they were supposed to come over yesterday. With no other options, my husband decided to drive up and get them and bring them back after. We both knew they needed to get out of the house with everything going on there.
Lastly, and related to my family this time, my brother announced on Facebook that he was going to get married. Usually this is exciting news, but my brother has been dealing with alcoholism and is most likely undiagnosed bipolar. He is avoiding a DUI and has a warrant out for his arrest. This girl he is supposedly marrying lives up north and they have been friends for 6 years but have never actually dated. Supposedly, she wanted to move down here with him, but he only would let her if she agreed to marry him. Damn religion pushes people into shit they just don't need!
What's crazy is all this bullshit surrounds us in our families and it seems we are the only sane ones. It's enough to drive us insane...oh wait I already am!
It is generally believed that many of those with bipolar disorder also struggle with alcoholism or substance abuse. Researchers, as well as many of those caught in the cycle of addiction, believe the use of these substances is an attempt to alleviate symptoms or to "self-medicate."
