A Meshugenah Family

The word "meshugenah" is Yiddish for "crazy." It's a word that the author's family used to describe themselves, and it's a word that perfectly captures the essence of their story. The author's family is a complex and dysfunctional one, but it's also a family filled with love and laughter.

The author's father is a brilliant but troubled man. He's a Holocaust survivor who suffers from schizophrenia. He's often paranoid and delusional, but he's also a loving and devoted father. The author's mother is a strong and resilient woman. She's also a Holocaust survivor, and she's witnessed firsthand the horrors of war. She's determined to provide a good life for her family, but she's also struggling with her own demons.

The author is the youngest of three children. She's a bright and curious girl, but she's also struggling with her own mental health issues. She's anxious and insecure, and she's starting to experiment with drugs and alcohol.
