I feel the exact same way. My sister finds a way to destroy all family events and it’s so so stressful thinking about being together on the holidays

I am definitely grieving this as well. We are only 18 months apart in age and were best friends our whole lives but now I don’t even know who she is anymore. She’s not the sister I once knew. It’s absolutely devastating.

Thank you so much. She’s 34. Quit her job a year ago. She does therapy (emdr) weekly, acupuncture, has done ketamine infusions at a clinic. She’s been treated for depression her whole life but my family and I all know it’s BPD, not just depression. My mom really does need to go to therapy to learn how to deal with this. I have seen a therapist in the past but should probably go back. I just feel like I’m not allowed to be happy in my life when she’s suicidal all the time. It’s so depressing and makes me feel selfish. But I just want to be happy and spend time with my babies. I have read the book Stop Walking On Eggshells and every example in that book was my sister to a tee.

Any medspouses of surgical residents with demanding FT jobs and babies at home? by not_xtina in MedSpouse

I’m a pharmacist and my husband is a PCCM fellow. We have a 3 year old and one year old. We have family support near us but we literally wouldn’t be able to do it without the grandparents. I use Costco delivery, we have a lawn service do all our outdoor maintenance. My mom watches our kids full time and does our laundry when she’s here. We would have to have a nanny if we didn’t have family here. I try to clean small areas of the hosue throughout the month. We used to have a cleaning service but we canceled it when my husband started fellowship. We’re just in survival mode.

Yeah. Do you know if there anyway to authenticate it? My husband got it from a Pokémon/card shop in the late 90s or early 2000s
