My ABF got a call early this morning that his cousin had a manic break at his friends and to please come help. I have work this morning but I told him if he needs me I will come with him. He said he was not sure that was upto me. I'm learning not to give help unless asked but I can't help but feel uneasy about not going.

I hope they are getting professionals involved. There's a temptation for people to think, "Oh, I can handle my family member's severe medical/emotional problems myself" - but there is a reason people train for years to be able to deal with these things.  Take care of yourself.

It is so good to stay out of HP's business .. hard however necessary ..
