The Official Banter Away Thread
as has kinda been mentioned, knowing when enough is enough is one of the hardest things. because there is no one-size fits all answer. The mixed emotions are normal/expected. There comes that tipping point where you are doing everything you reasonably can and it's not enough. To do more, would still not be helpful, and become increasingly harming to one's self. Getting them, or forcing them (if your state allows), to professional help is the only option.

It really is easy. Mine said 8 hours but ended up being only 90 minutes.Transferring files from old mac to new mac is easy with the app they provide. Part of me wishes I didn't do it though and started fresh. Only 6 hours to go

We had to cancel and then start again and for whatever reason that sped it up to a fraction of the time. But the process itself is really amazing, and then everything just works.
You are clearly in a very difficult situation, and it's not something that I would personally ever wish upon another. It won't feel right, but know in your heart that at the moment there are no right or wrong answers/actions you can take, because the mindset of the other person is completely upside down. I've been that other person, so know that I'm not trying to bad-mouth your relative. All you can do is what you believe is the right thing to do in the moment, even if that means telling them you're going to need a minute. Until they have had a couple of sessions and possibly added medication into the mix it will be difficult to handle, but you have to go into this with the long-term plan in full view. It doesn't develop overnight, and it certainly doesn't go away overnight but it's a process. Just being there for them as much as your personal life will allow is huge, but be careful not to let it overwhelm you. I would suggest you have a serious discussion about it with Josh and have him keep a close eye on you; if he sees something that shouldn't be you need to be made aware of it immediately.
Mental illness of any kind is a horrible, horrible animal and I'm so sorry that you are having to go through this. Stay positive whatever you do!

As @GolferGal said, we had a glitch and had to cancel and start over and then it was flying. WIth that said, I didnt bring everything with me.

Holy smokes! That makes me appreciate the little amount we've had this year but I know it's coming. Although I think I'd take that over the high temp of 7* we get on Wednesday.
What's that boxy thing you're hunched over behind? Is that one of them new fandangled modern shovels the kids have all been talking about?
I'm really disappointed when the weather person was correct with their prediction
People that say they miss snow are the same people that never intend to live where snow is a thing.
I sure do miss the snow
