My mom has been on tranquilizers since before she was pregnant with me. My dad has been understandably stressed from his career as a firefighter/emt. My full brother exhibits symptoms of anxiety. I'm not sure about my half-siblings. I think there are at least eating disorder issues with them. I know there was considerable stress in my father's parents' relationship. He was an abusive alcoholic. And his wife had a schizophrenic troublesome mother. I don't know about my mom's parents. Everyone depicts them as great, kind people. One reason it's such a mystery to us why my mom is the way she is.
