I dont want to feel like Im living at home all over again.
My MIL suffers from bipolar disorder, shes suicidal, COPD, shes on Oxygen, mood swings, but yet, she takes meds for all the things listed. Her and my husband have had their differences in the past, shes up set because we refuse to move my BIL in, but she understands why. I dont want my child in an environment surrounded by drugs and violence.
Am I crazy? Will this be a mistake? My family wont support this, they only bring me down...

With her personal issues I think your making a big mistake.
How old is she? why can't she go into an assisted living or nursing home?
OMG... bipolar disorder, shes suicidal... that alone says this is NOT a good idea.
I hope at least, maybe your house is large and she can stay on one side of it. Maybe you can also see to getting her a personal attendent through some community based assistance program or medicade... rather than try to do all her care yourself, which will only add to problems with her mental illness history of bipolar and suicidal.
be ready for surprises......... after she moves in...........
its a scary thing your doing although I know you have good intentions... because of the problems she has mentally....
this could prove to be one of the worse ideas ever for you and your family.
