Hi Jodillyn
I hope by now the replies that you have had are giving you stength and support in helping you decide what you need to do.
I too endorse everything that has been said to you on this thread. I suspect that you have always been depended upon in many other aspects of family life because you have the courage, skills and compassion. However its now time for those around you to care for you otherwise if your wellbeing suffers who will care for uncle then.
Your guilt is a perfectly normal feeling to have and understandable but is eating away at you. You can make a positive out of this by sharing your concerns as you have begun to do so already, your imediate family need to step in and make decisions together and recognise the stress you are under. The simple fact is you are coping and managing very well but at what cost to yourself, your child, husband, uncle and mil. Please seek all the help on offer and sooner rather than later. I would suggest your uncle needs an urgent CPN assessment or even a psychiatrist or GP home visit as there could be some medical reasoning for changes in your uncles behaviour . How about letting your husband read your threads and all the replies you have had..Would this help?
Take care and good luck
