You're right...I should try talking to my cousin; it's just SO HARD to bring it up. In a strange way, I think we all feel that if we don't talk about it, it just MIGHT go away....which I realize is ridiculous. I mean, she's been doing so well since her initial relapse, it's easy to see why she refuses to believe there's anything wrong with her. ::sigh:: my parents will actually be visiting her next week, and my mom (a doctor) will try to talk to her into seeking medical help. We'll see how it goes. I'm scared for her; I'm afraid that like your husband, she'll have a major relapse before she seeks help. You're right, she owes it to her family to get help.
