“Roberto is 22 years old, he is very moved, he stimulates himself and he injures himself. It sticks and bites its hands and must be contained.
Roberto has been without a center for a year and a half because there are no places. We have been on the waiting list for four years.
I feel that since we were born we have lived in a continuous fight to defend your rights. Although in many ways he is like a baby in a large body, the system considers him an unproductive adult and abandons him. By abandoning him, he abandons me, because all his weight falls on my back and I am lucky to have a family that clothes. I know that I will achieve things because I am very feisty, but in the end you feel that everything they give you you have been begging for.
I lost my mother as a young girl and I had to take care of my family. I have cared all my life. As you get older and they get older, you realize that the future is coming upon you. I don’t want my other children to bear the responsibility of taking care of the brother, because that was already my story. In the end it is a burden, which you carry with love, but an emotional and physical burden.
People tell me that I deserve heaven. For a son I do whatever it takes. I don’t deserve heaven for that. The one who deserves all he needs is Roberto.”  Angela
