Dealing with family and slights and anger at them
My mood has changed. I am trying to get along with family members. BTW, it was a close family member who slighted me on having bipolar. And I wanted to cut them off from mine and my family's life for good. But after seeing my brother get engaged and bringing in his fiancée, I just can't do it. I can't cut out that family member. I want, for the sake of my new sister-in-law, to get along as best as I am able to and that means to overlook it now, but to also be ready to defend myself, even if it quietly instead of such an extreme and angrily way as to push this family member away. With that said. I will concentrate on my own life and avoid them as best as possible but still stay in the circle of family harmony. Like I said it's for the sake of another person. If I had the choice, I would break away from that family member completely. My brother got engaged yesterday. I was thinking how I was going to go about dealing with this and their engagement helped guide me and my feelings to what I really wanted.
