Overtaken by Insanity: Two Sisters Lives Are Burdened by Elder Sister's Mental Illness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798890316493)

Jane's mental illness and selfish disrespect for her younger siblings created perplexing lives for them. This true rendition reveals Louise and Lois' antagonized lives as they struggle to live normally, surrounded by Jane's calamities and inappropriate behavior. Jane was well read and very intelligent but displayed a caustic presence making her a social outcast. Jane believed by being the firstborn, she was entitled to an exalted status of superiority. She tormented her second born sister, Louise, routinely through bullying and physical abuse, though paying little attention to her baby sister, Lois. As a teenager, Jane was formally diagnosed with several forms of mental illness. She had always craved being in the spotlight and monopolized their mother's attention. Once diagnosed, Jane received even more time and attention than previously. Growing up with Jane was challenging for Louise and Lois, but the true challenge came for them upon the death of their mother when avoidance of Jane was not possible and the complications of her erratic behavior went unchecked.
