She was forced to raise her younger brother in many ways and this continued until the mother lost custody when the patient was seven years old. Even with the relatively brief period of her life that she was with the absentee mother, the patient developed PTSD and self-esteem issues based on the diagnosis of prior doctors and other professionals.
