Raye - Interview 30

When she returned after two years abroad, her brother hadn't taken on much of the care for their father, their older sister and brother.
Raye grew up with mental health problems in the family. Today, she is the main carer for her father (paranoid schizophrenia), her sister (schizophrenia) and her brother (manic depression). She now feels she needs to let go of some of the responsibilities and focus on her own life.
