Hello there. Firstly, I would like to extend my condolences for your mother, so sorry for your loss! Also, you should know that your worries and fears are absolutely valid. Covid-19 can affect people with other comorbidities far worse than those without. Your worries are completely justified. However, as a person living with people with other underlying conditions there is only so much you can do without compromising your own health. You can ask your father and your sister to take care of themselves, get after them to fix their habits and lifestyle, and even change their food intake by making food at home that is best suited for their conditions. Beyond this, however, there isnât much you can do if they donât want to change. You cannot force them to be better if they have chosen to continue with their ways.
I understand that this can be distressing for you and you may be existing in an environment of increased stress and worry. This is why you should, first and foremost, take care of yourself. If your health is affected negatively, then it can get more difficult to take care of them and yourself. This will further lend in deteriorating your health and the outcome will be you stuck in a dangerous cycle. You can talk to both your father and sister and tell them how their carelessness affects you, and hope they improve their ways a little. There is nothing much you can do despite wanting to. So try, instead, to take better care of yourself and make sure you donât take too much stress. You can seek therapy, if that will help you focus on your health more and deal with the stress of your father and sister. There are several organizations and independent setups that offer free or affordable therapy with various offers that you can avail. They provide online therapy which can be face-to-face or via text, based on your preference. Take care!
