We just got a phone call from my sil about my dnephew. I feel bad for him but I also feel bad for my dh because he is getting involved in something that he was involved with over 20 years ago.
His one sister was diagnosed as a manic/depressive over 20 years ago. We tried to help her to make it easier on his parents. we paid a couple of her bills. we distanced ourselves from the problem for a few years because we were raising our boys. She went through the usual of taking medication and not that they all seem to go through. She has been pretty stable the last few years. We are even helping her out by mowing her lawn even though she lives 40 minutes away.
Her son went through some health issues when he was younger with seizures. About 5 years ago stress got the better of him and he was hospitalized for a while. The other day we found out that he had lost his job of 11 years and we had no idea why. tonight one of my other sil's called us and filled us in.
He has been having problems for a few months now. He got engaged in feb and we thought things were going well. Apparently not. He did not get the promotion he thought he was going to get in May and things have been going downhill from there. Last week he was fired because he broke some equipment. He was not arrested but he doesn't have a job. His fiance wanted him to go to the doctor but he has been refusing to do so. She is telling everyone that he has changed. we don't know what is going to happen there.
Now my nephew is home with his mother. My dh is going down tomorrow without me to see what is going on. I know dh is not going to sleep tonight
Please pray for our family. thanks
