writes:I fell out big time with my partner’s sister almost the first time I met her. She is friends with his ex wife and there was a lot of turmoil in the divorce. The things she said could be described as ill advised if feeling kind, or mischeivious if not so kind, because they referred to doubts that he had shared with her and ones that she had about his intentions. I was already paranoid and worn out. I had a kind of breakdown. Now she is in the country again and I want to pretend that I am OK and grit my teeth. It was treated as bad behaviour at the time (or a personality disorder which has raised some laughs from the psychiatrist) but I know it wasn’t that. It was a one-off, unique. I discussed it with a psychiatrist who said the situation and my partner’s depression and behaviour, combined with my anxiety was the cause. I really don’t think I want to see the woman at all, but the only way to get over it is probably to do that. It is really bad to crack up and appear like a loonatic in front of a person who doesn’t seem to have my best interests at heart in any way, rather seems to be an enemy. Oh humiliation!Anyone got any words of wisdom to cheer me through? Have any of you had to face out such a situation?
