And he added: “My father has already passed away, but this has brought a lot of conflict between my parents. One said ‘I think he chooses it’, the other said not. I believe that no one chooses it. Clearly, It is a disease and it is tremendous. That ended up causing depression in my mother.. “I adore my sister, I don’t blame her.”
