| 0:00.0 | My sister hides behind her mental illness and uses it as an excuse to treat everybody like garbage. |
| 0:06.1 | My older half-sister came to live with us in December. She claims to have severe depression and |
| 0:11.2 | anxiety that she refuses to seek therapy for. She does not work, does not clean up after herself, |
| 0:17.2 | she only leaves her room on the weekends to go out and party or go to concerts. During the week |
| 0:22.2 | she is in her room all day, only coming out in the evening to scream and swear at me and start |
| 0:27.2 | arguments and some tension between everybody. She was prescribed Zoloth by a psychiatrist last month |
| 0:33.1 | and only gave it a week to work. I caught her dumping the pills in the toilet and she told me to |
| 0:37.5 | keep my mouth shut. When my mom questioned her about the empty pill bottle, she told her to get |
| 0:42.2 | lost and to mind her own business. She stopped going to therapy last month because she thinks it's |
| 0:46.8 | a waste of time. My dad deep cleaned her room last weekend because it was so bad. The smell of |
| 0:52.2 | rancid cat litter was wafting downstairs and it looked like a war zone. My dad said there was |

| 1:04.8 | Cat droppings and vomit all over the carpet. A litter box that hadn't been looked after and was |
| 1:10.1 | never scooped. She sat on her phone and cried to him about how horrible her life is and how |
| 1:15.0 | mean my mom is while he cleaned her room. It took him a few hours. She always cried to my dad about |
| 1:20.9 | how mean my mom is. Anytime my mom calls her out on her behavior, she is very manipulative and |
| 1:26.6 | uses guilt trips on my dad a lot, especially whenever my mom points out my sister's behavior to him. |
| 1:32.4 | Or whenever he tries to point out she's in the wrong, then comes the water works. Guilt trip |
| 1:37.0 | and anger from my sister. You don't care about me because if you did, or even, and you wonder why |
| 1:43.0 | I never leave my room. You wonder why I give you an attitude all the time. My mom thinks it's |
| 1:48.5 | ridiculous that she can't clean her room, can't take care of her cat, can't work, can't drive, |
| 1:53.2 | can't really do anything because of her anxiety and depression. But she can go out clubbing with |
