Part 8/11:
The atmosphere changed dramatically when Jamie's mental health took a dark turn, leading him to consider self-harm. Amid an emotional crisis, the siblings were forced to navigate the anguish of their shared history, questioning the love and support they had promised each other. Their parents, once tangible figures, morphed into shadows of their past, often evoked in arguments about the state of their lives.
In a moment of vulnerability, Leanne allowed her siblings to see her pain, offering a glimpse of the burden she quietly bore. She had devoted her life to raising them, but what was there left for her? This inversion of roles—where the caretaker becomes the cared for—created a space where the siblings could begin to understand one another.
