My cousin just sent me the most bizarre message on Facebook, bringing up the crap that happened last summer when I went to visit family and it ended in a complete mess. To her, this was an apology and a message of encouragement. To me, I feel it's a backhanded insult or some sort of passive-aggressive way of saying "Sorry, but I'm still going to treat you like a child."
I really don't know what to say, if I should even say anything. I always have to tread lightly with her, in what I say, do, etc. because she's so mentally ill. I'm afraid of responding with the wrong thing, since anything I say, if it comes across even in the slightest as rude (to her, even if I did not mean to come across that way at all), might cause her rage on her keyboard back at me.
I know I shouldn't really take the message all too seriously, as she is mentally ill, but it kind of pisses me off. It also makes me feel guilty that there is not a single thing I could do last year, nor can I still do, to get her to see a doctor/psychologist/something to get her on the right meds and possibly better. And it just makes me angry how the rest of her family doesn't even try their hardest to get her on the right track. (even in the past they didn't do hardly anything) Ugh... :kickingmyself: I need to let these feelings go. She's messed up, it's way out of my hands, and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. She will most likely be that way for the rest of her life.
