In My Way 2026

What Can I do?

What Can I do?
Bodhisattwa Parekh

“You don’t mean that.”, Rosy complained angrily.

"Yes, I mean it.", I remained firm.

"Yes, you told it.", She stared at me as if she wanted to burn me, if it were possible.

I became frustrated a bit.

The psychiatrist told me several times that may happen over time. Suddenly, she will become anxious. That is the nature of this type of disorder. If you protest it, anything, even a furious incident, may happen. It's better to leave the room silently. That anxiety and anger will not last longer. So I leave the room. I become sad-hearted. I can't leave her alone in this condition.

I pray to God to rescue her from this precarious situation.
