Holymama,
I get those looks too, but from my parents, mostly from my Mother. If she hears me talking to my daughter about something she might have done wrong, She (my mother) will instantly show up. It seems that She doesn't think I know how to handle my own child.
My family also tends to walk on egg shells at times. They are afraid to tell me things they think will upset me such as things that they observe. (Info.. I live upstairs from my parents) If I get home late, they will question if I'm OK. They are afraid that I might be heading to a hospital stay.
How do I deal? I'm looking for another place to live. I spoke to my T, and she said that educating the educable is a place to start. That would, it seems, be my mother. I've had some cursory chats with her. Today, I started thinking about going to lunch at a small restaurant. We'll see.
The questions you raised in your post are very common. I think that anyone who has a mental illness goes through it. You're not alone.Dee.
