Thank you. Yes, I've been open several times, just last week. She knows her poor quality of sleep has affected her but she just keeps saying she's fine.
She keeps getting defensive, I am a good driver, I do a lot of things. I responded She is and yes she does but I'm worried she's running on fumes and when driving her reaction time is slower so it's a safety issue, not personal. I said anyone else would have the same problems related to poor sleep and I just want her to enjoy things, and take care of herself because she's worth it. To put that higher in her priorities is very important. She understood but maybe thinks I'm making a fuss.
It's hard to see someone you love crumble and I'm trying to be there but she really doesn't listen to anyone.
