Jealousy in the immdediate family...

Jess I have a nephew who is bi  polar. While we live 1700 miles away from each other I keep up with my sister and her encounters with him and its not pretty, in fact its down right scary. He tells her how much he hates her and is going to cut her in pieces and stuff them into a bottle. The next conversation will be how much he loves her, etc It's been like this for more than 10 yrs. He is 28 yrs old. He does not remember how nasty he talks to her and I would have found it hard to believe if I didn't actually hear messages he left her on her cell while she was working or at home. She of course has called the police many times, he's in jail right now for his last threat to her but there is no help for these mentally ill people even the prisions are loaded  with mentally ill and the best advice my sister has received is not to answer the phone, email or his letters with pleas for help. Just don't acknowledge the action. It always seems to be directed  to "one person" who they can manipulate so stay clear...I think your sister will "not remember" what she wrote especially if she was having a rant episode.

Hey Jess, I've been wondering how things have been going for you. I think you got great advice to just ignore it. It really does hurt though. It seems that people think now that we're thin things don't hurt us anymore. I feel I'm the same person on the inside, just the packaging has changed. I'm still a caring person that wants what's best for my family and friends no matter how much I weigh. You are going thru so much right now, but at your core, you are still the same loving, wonderful person you've always been. Hold your head and be proud of your accomplishments. Good luck with everything and please update from time to time so we've know how you're doing!
