As per your cousin, I guess all you can do is mind your boundaries and be firm about them. If you think he is giving you a guilt trip, just tell him you don't appreciate that and would like him to stop. Best of luck. I for one understand why you don't want to rush to her side right now. It's actually better for her that you don't, IMO. > > Hi everybody! > > My mum is still in hospital following her overdose 3 or 4 weeks ago. > She has now become psychotic and paranoid - saying there are cameras > everywhere on the ward and that the staff (and me) are part of > a " conspiracy " . > > My cousin emailed me, guilt-tripping me (I had been nc for 2 years > prior to this episode).
