My sister is severely learning disabled (almost to the point of being mentally retarded, sorry if that's not the correct term for it) and I know how difficult it is to grow up with someone like that.
The environment I grew up in was very stressful because of her (amongst other things) and it did lead to me self-injuring more because I couldn't cope with her and all the fighting and everything else that was going on.
Do you have anyone you can talk to about your feelings towards this?
