Okay, so my poor fi is having to put up with my stress/freakouts. I'm 13 days out from wedding day, 6 days out from my dad's memorial service. My oldest, very troubled brother is boycotting the service because, thanks to me not inviting him to my wedding, he thinks the whole family is against him. Thank god my mom believes his story about not being able to get time off from work in order to attend (he did attend dad's funeral back in March).
My mentally troubled sister has been having a series of setbacks, culminating in in-and-out hospital stays, calls from her psych to the police, and much drama related to who will take care of her dog (it was a bad, bad idea for her to get a puppy, but she insisted and now can't care for it properly). She's also blocking herself off almost completely from any help/support we can offer. Only her grown sons and one other sister even know about this latest series of hospitalizations.
Meanwhile, I'm almost hyperventilating trying to get details wrapped up for the wedding - I suspect I'm so hyper about them because they are ONE thing I can control and actually see results on.
Just needed to vent to someone other than fi. Thanks for the ears!
