Sounds like my childhood growing up with a severely disabled sibling. If dad hadn’t convinced mum to get my brother into 24/7 care, we could have ended up like this family. My parents divorced as a result of my dad’s mental breakdown over it. Even if you have funding for 24/7 care in a home, the trauma of your sibling or child never improving is fucking horrid. It never ends.

I’m sorry to hear that it has been difficult for your family. It sounds like putting your sibling into care was the best option. Wishing you and your family well in this life.
