bipolar mother in law
I live with my bipolar mother in law. She had trauma In her life. I'm really angry with my decision i made to live with her. And now my husband and i feel we can't leave her. She gossips about me in ger language right in front of ne she thinks i dont understand she puts me down she goes in my room and steals ny stuff. She's in psychotic mode for the past month, and I work from home, she makes my job miserable, and I hate my job now, anything she says or does I hate she puts me off everything I'm just sick if everything. I used to be a really positive person now I have even waking up in the mornings. Just really miserable.

Re: bipolar mother in law
Hi @unknownlady, welcome to the Forums. That sounds like a terrible situation for you. One with no escape if you live and work in the same house as your mother-in-law. It doesn't sound at all sustainable if you're now starting to hate work.
Can you tell us a little more about why you and your husband feel as if you can't leave her? Is he sympathetic in terms of how this is affecting you? If your own mental health is starting to be affected, which is what you're describing, would he be open to revisiting this decision?
Sorry for all the questions but we may be able to help more if we understand more about the situation you're in. Glad you found us 🙂

Hi @unknownlady,
Just checking in to see how you're doing? Has much changed in the home front?
