Psychologically Unstable
Handling difficult family members isn’t for the faint of heart. While some family members like relatives are easy to dismiss, immediate family can take a toll on any relationship. Imagine having a mother or mother-in-law driven with delusions and needs institutionalized for her mental state.

You can more easily understand, to an extent, when your parent is mentally unstable. That still doesn’t mean that they should have much access to you or your family. Take this instance here, for example, of a mentally unstable mother-in-law that persistently pushed her delusions onto her son and daughter-in-law. What would you do in this kind of situation? Sometimes you need some distance for you and your family to remain healthy.
