This was always my question and for years and still now i never got a straight answer for it, as years ago after a horrific accident my family treated me bad after the accident. i was called the vegetable and was mocked for 3 years until i signed myself into the hospital, with the help of my father. Not so much did i have a choice in the matter too. My sisters and brothers all mocked me all the time, not one positive action or word. i still wonder to this day 30 years later why they did this.
