Re DIL .... yes she does ..... puts a wall up sometimes ....
Trying to work out how much is mi and how much is personality and personal choices .... have been told by others who have the same mi issues or live with someone who has, that a lot of what she does is according to her value system rather than the illness per se ....

Re: Sleeping too much
So glad it all went well @Faith-and-Hope! It's a bit of a let down when the wedding is all done and dusted. There's so much that had to be done before yesterday. I know with my daughter's wedding it was all go go go and then.....kerplunk! There’s nothing left to do.
After having lived on adrenaline for so long with the wedding and the last weeks of school, you've had precious little time to stop and watch the world go by; to have quality you time.
Rest up now and do a me me me. You've earned it. 🎶💕

Ok @Faith-and-Hope...a lot to equate sometimes.
Interesting really isn't it. The finer lines of personality as opposed a diagnostic MI..
Maybe one day I'll study it more too. 😊

Re: Sleeping too much
@Faith-and-Hope. I just cried reading your post. I think I can imagine how you would feel right now. I think conflicted at every turn would be my way of describing it. You are experiencing so many polar emotions it would all feel very heavy💜
I am really happy to hear it went well. As you would say to me go gently for now. Give yourself time to process it all and find yourself again. Sending lots of hugs and best wishes. 💜😊🤗💐

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks @Kurra ..... 😏 .... I know that's definitely part of it .... 🌷💕
@Former-Member .... yeah .... and she's done something really hurtful towards my S1, but he has chosen to forgive it and move forward, so that's our cue to do the same. I asked around a bit (discretely) to try to understand whether this mi affects values judgement .... and others who have experience have said no .... her choices were not connected to the mi ....
I try to take DIL how I find her .... cheerful when she is .... respectful of her boundaries when she has her own privacy shields up .... make an effort at conversation when she's passive-aggressive then leave her alone if it's not making a difference to her mood in the moment .... last night was p-a.

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks @Former-Member .... 💜🌷
Things up you have posted previously indicte that you can relate to that particular emotional cocktail. Think I usually just avoid situations that involve taking it on, or remain distracted so it's diluted at least ... but there are some occasions where that's not possible without remaining disengaged from the kids, friends, and family too .... 😔
Gotta take it as it comes, and find pyjama days to help balance it out ....👍🏼
Waiting to see if WH will take off interstate again before we go overseas ....

Re: Sleeping too much
Ahh @Faith-and-Hope, I can only imagine as a parent the line you have to tread with DIL..my parents had same with me actually and my ex partner. I chose to stay, and went back so many times. I think my dad really gritted his teeth, because mum guided him to do so. He definitely put up a brave act out of love for me.
My mum too. She once said...you always acted on your integrity, no matter if choice was (pretty ludicrous)...I can see the humour now.
But it has caused me my own personal troubles...
Hmm a lot of conflict and it has been much my journey to unravel my choices in a sense.
Your son sounds like a great guy. To stand by his love, who is afflicted.
He has his own road with this somehow?

S1 has a big, compassionate heart, but is also stubborn and fierce in his loyalties .... lol .... that probably describes all of my kids ....
