I used to spend endless hours listening to my father and mother discussing issues related to the psychological health of my sister. My mother used to blame my father saying “my daughter suffers from all of these problems because of the genetics that she inherited from the members of your family.” My father answered her saying that “this is mostly related to God and you can not blame me or blame anybody about anything”. I always felt that my father’s words were right and he was wise enough to say the truth. I was not able to express my opinion to my mother and tell her what my father says is true. These issues affected me psychologically and made me feel very responsible for my sister and very much attached emotionally to her.
My sister’s condition deteriorated year after year, and for this reason, all the members of the family were suffering and very much worried about her and about her future and how her life will be in the long run.
Years passed and her health deteriorated. My parents sent her to the best psychiatrist in the country but they all confirmed that not much can be done in order to improve her health and make her psychologically feel better.
