This is a lot.

Riley shouldn't feel guilty about not being able to plan her brother's funeral. That was her parents' job.

She kept him in the house for two months.

Eesh.

In Benjamin's casket, Riley placed the yellow Nikes of hers that Ben-Ben had wanted so badly in Tokyo.

This makes me want to cry.

The parentification is unfortunately strong in Riley.

My dad died this year and everyone placed all the responsibility onto me. It's very hard!!! I am mad about it ngl. I should be having help. Oh well. I'm not doing a great job but I am trying.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's not fair and you shouldn't be left to handle everything by yourself.
