My sister was underwent a medication change that started in January that mad her disability worse.
She now acts up and was attention seeking with me up until a point. My mother looks about 10 years older than she is. All the stress contributed to putting my father in an early grave 4 years ago. When he was diagnosed with cancer she was actually under a section in hospital because she was refusing to take prescribed medication. My mother vents her frustration onto me quite often throughout my childhood, adolescence and adulthood.
I started a nursing degree this academic year and her medication change and resulting change in behaviour has contributed to me to failing a placement as I was too stressed and depressed to attend or even inform of my absense meaning I will need to re-do my first year or leave the course. I will leave the course as I have also experienced bullying in this profession. There is a saying that nurses eat their young and I have very much experienced that on several occasions.
I feel utterly let down, disappointed and disillusioned to be in this situation. This academic year I have acquired ~£20,000 worth of debt with nothing to show for it. If I wasn't taking anti depressants then I would likely feel suicidal.
I have tried to support my mother and sister as best I can but the abuse from them has became too much to bear. I don't even think the damage they have caused to me is even an after thought.
