Re: This pissed me off (TW: suicide)

[making_excuses]

The odd thing is that my family wasn't the one that made me do it, it is everyone else around us. Even the foster care system used my responsibility for my family against me and enabled me to continue being the responsible one in my family. My step mother was more abusive than any of my other family members put together, and evidence would suggest that she is not mentally ill...

The rest of my family expects me to be the one to know how our family members are, and to help them out when needed. Heck even my mothers neighbour called me and asked me to tell me that I had to make my mother stop.

I don't really mind doing it, I am good at just cutting that part of my life off when I am not dealing with it.

I am just sick and tired of seeing all the posts on tumblr (and elsewhere) that basically tells people that you have to help mentally ill people, that you are an horrible person if you can't handle them at their worst and so on.

Because handling my family members at their worst is impossible, all you can do is make sure any children around is safe (none of my family members are dangerous, but children can get scared), and that when they fall asleep they are breathing and nothing is on fire. If you are lucky you can get them admitted to a mental institution for a couple of days, but that only helps a bit.

So no one is a bad person for not being able to handle something like that, you are not evil or mean because you can't handle someone who is mentally ill. You are just human and no one has the right to shame you for that.
