Robin's History of mental illness

In this post, I'm just kind of documenting what I know that makes up the current state of Robin.  I'm not sure I'm going to post everything at first, but I will mention the important things. It probably needs to be mentioned that the women on Robins side of the family all have had some sort of mental illness.  Her mother & both of her sisters do.  I know her sisters are both taking standard medications to address it and I think for the most part it works for them.  Robin's mother suffered dementia at the end and her father went through the caretaker stages of dealing with a spouse that suffers mental illness.  Robin was affected by her mother's death and learning of some of the details and worries that she is going to have the same thing happen to her in the end, and worries that she has passed it on to her daughter.  I believe Robin's mother's mother also suffered from mental illness.  So it was baked into her DNA from the beginning, and in my opinion,...

The Sister Factor

Robin was the little princess of the family and like most families with multiple kids, the parents were stricter with the first born and became less and less strict as the family grew as they realized they probably didn't need to do it. So the older siblings probably often complained that Robin got to do things or special treatment that they didn't get. At least that's the impression I get from the stories she has told me. Robin worries about what her sisters think of her to this day because of it. It's a strong influence on her. She never has felt she was as close to her sisters as she wants to be. And longs for their approval on everything. They don't often approve of her or what she
