In today's Ask Amy, a 'wellness check' leads to a family estrangement.
My brother “Brian” and sister-in-law lost their teenage daughter to a sudden medical event in 2014.
The police showed up, guns locked and loaded — and wearing flak vests. They handcuffed Brian in front of his neighbors, put him in a squad car, and took him to the local ER, where his RN daughter was working in the ICU.Brian was furious with these two sisters for launching this intervention. Susan and Stella have subsequently not talked to him or anyone else in the family for five years.They accuse us all of “triangulation” for not supporting their decision.
They might have said to “Brian”: “We were panicking. We had no idea of what the police response would be, and we feel terrible for putting you through additional trauma and strain. We’re so sorry!” Yes, you should ask your parents to stop proselytizing to you. Tell them that when they do this, it pushes you farther away from them.
