it’s so very unfortunate that people, let alone our parents , can’t comprehend the most basic part of human behavior that if someone is affected by a mental challenge their behavioral will sometimes be askewed.

Many many years ago, my sister became very ill, and had brain damage . my folks for the life of them, couldn’t figure out why her behavior was different , bringing home people from the streets, and other such things that were not the normal for her before she got sick. My sister was always complaining how my folks were not understanding this and understanding that.

How do you not understand that somebody’s got a challenge, such as yours in mind of depression and anxiety that affects us, that affects the very being of who we are, and sometimes will affect what comes out of our mouth or how we how we Smile or don’t smile. How do people not understand that?

I don’t have a clue.
