After suffering from depression and alcohol dependence, he also suffered from anorexia for four years. He knew that his father’s condition was deteriorating in recent years, but he himself was not healthy enough to cope with such a situation, so he was consistent with avoidance and denial. I blamed myself.
However, he said that he is comforted by the fact that he is trying to take care of his father even in the midst of his grief. It is a very special time for his family and he is glad that he is with them.
He said that his father still recognizes him and greets him with a bright expression.
