advice
So I need some advice about a very odd situation from fellow mothers.
So. My sister in law is a different kind of breed. Very hippie which don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with that. She has a 17 month old son with my brother (my nephew) and has been a stay at home mom for about a year now. She makes and sells clothing for rave type setting. Nothing crazy just something she enjoys doing. Their house is always a mess and it always reeks of weed. Don't get my wrong I was always a weed smoker and not that I think that it's wrong that they do but there has been times I would watch my nephew and had to wash the clothes in his diaper bag because they smelt very strongly of weed. Most of the time since my nephew has been born a lot has revolved around him and my brother and sister in law. It's never really bothered me because it is so great having a baby in the family. So I am about 23 weeks pregnant now with my first child and I am currently living in California while the rest of my family lives in Michigan. My sister in law said I was giving her baby fever and she was jealous and wanted to have a baby soon too. The last weekend in April my parents flew out to see my husband and I and find out the gender of our baby. During this time my sister in law posted a really strange video on fb out of no where crying and talking about mental illness. It started to put a damper on my parents visit as they were worried about her mental state and it escalated to her having a "manic" episode. My brother was calling every hour telling my parents what was going on and how they ended up admitting her into the hospital to get evaluated. In that time we posted a video of my babies gender and she reposted it and said she was excited. I liked the status but it was late and was going to reply to all the excitement in the morning. I woke up and she had blocked me and my husband and my friend sent me a comment from her saying she thought I was just mad at her cause she "stole my thunder" which I'm confused as to what it meant but to me it seems like she knew that she was drawing the attention away from me to be brought upon her. She's been back from being evaluated and back to her "normal" self on fb but has not said one thing to me or unblocked me though my feelings were really hurt by her comment and feeling like the weekend that was supposed to be celebrating my daughter turned into it being about her. I'm all about people getting help when they're sick but she's now going to these rave shows, getting tattoos, and talking about getting a puppy. My dad and I got into a huge fight today because I said I was cutting her out of my life and doesn't understand that if she is manic depressive that she should be seeing someone and getting help rather than dropping their son off with my parents constantly and going out to do whatever they please. I guess I'm looking for any kind of advice on if I'm being selfish or if my sister in law seems to be just looking for some type of attention good or bad.
