My sister was a very independent, strong woman and I think rather than say she needed help, she was going to try to do it on her own.
He never did well in school, and she couldn't accept that. She felt it was a failure on her part.
She was never going to say she couldn't do something. She would never accept defeat.
She had way too many expectations, and Ben seemed to get the worst of it.
It was over 30 years worth of problems.
(Benjamin) was put in charge when Josh was born, and he was given way too much responsibility.
Ben always had learning disabilities and I think that my sister felt that if there was anything not perfect with the kids it was a reflection on her and she was always hard on Ben.
