Ich will doch bloß sterben, Papa

The dual narrative adds depth and intimacy, but I wonder what led the author to structure it this way. Was it to show the complexity of their relationship or to give equal weight to both sides?

The detailed descriptions made the experience very real, but I found some moments emotionally intense. How did others connect with the depiction of her descent into madness?

It felt like a delicate line to walk, ensuring the story was truthful without being exploitative. I’d love to hear thoughts on how this was achieved or if it was a challenge.
