In a candid conversation with Salon, comedian Hannah Gadsby opens up about her sister Lacey Lamar, who has been living with schizophrenia for over two decades. Gadsby and Lamar co-wrote the memoir "You'll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey," a deeply personal account of their complex and often fraught relationship. As Gadsby grapples with the challenges of caring for her sister, she also confronts her own feelings of guilt, responsibility, and frustration. With raw honesty and vulnerability, Gadsby sheds light on the often-overlooked experiences of families affected by mental illness, and the ways in which love and loyalty can be both a source of strength and a source of pain.
