severe impact
The impact on my parents’ lives was significant. Their once-normal routine has devolved into an endless series of murmurs and odd stares. My father, who typically kept his head up, walked with a distinct droop. My mother, once the center of her social circle, suddenly appeared fragile and distant. It felt like the entire town was evaluating them, and they were the target of this unwanted scrutiny.

Both had received criticism at work and murmurs in their social groups. Despite being surrounded by colleagues, my father was frequently excluded from casual chats. His employment had become a battleground for caustic words and unspoken judgments. Meanwhile, my mother, who was once the center of attention at social gatherings, now finds herself the subject of quiet conversations and lingering looks. Both of their faces showed signs of emotional tension.
