Update 5/26/24
So, as of last night the mental health drama we've been dealing with - for an extended period with one of my wife's siblings has come to a temporary conclusion.
In the wee hours of the morning we were finally able to get the police to take her in and she is being involuntarily held for mental health evaluation and hopefully treatment. She still has to get on board, but usually once they medicate her, she responds very quickly.
This has been heartbreaking and know that my heart goes out to anyone who deals with mental health issues or for their families. It isn't talked about enough and people somehow think it's shameful.
But it's just a disease and shouldn't be looked at differently from diabetes, heart disease, or cancer. It is every bit as destructive and capable of turning families inside out.
Thank you all for your patience.
I am VERY under the gun to finish Crystal Core 3- but hopefully I'll be distraction free for the next couple of days now.

Not easy.
Fully understand and support your perspective based on experience with a close family member.
Everybody have someone in their family with issues!
Which is why I want to be transparent. We need to kill the shame related to these issues.
I feel for you on this. Had similar with my 2nd child for years. Stay strong.
I have a family member like your wife’s sister and I understand it can be rough for both them and the family, I wish you all luck and hope the treatment works out
All I can say is: same.
