[quote=Anonymous]I am one of three sisters. We lost our father when we were 12, 13, and 16. Two of us have handled it well, moved on quickly enough given the circumstances. I definitely was closed off and angry the year after it happened but it never led me to make any dangerous or reckless decisions in high school (maintained good grades, no drugs or sleeping around). One sister has been a mess since it happened. I am sure it was a triggering event for genetic mental illness but she cannot get over any deaths in our family. She is getting her life together now in her mid thirties but the list of issues she suffered through her 20s and is continuing to work through in therapy is heartbreaking.[/quote]
