It doesn't seem like Munchausen by proxy. The mother cried whenever she gave it to her, so she knew it was bad, and with Muchausen, they generally do it because they want to be a caretaker, meaning they want the proxy to be sick. That was definitely not the case here.

She gave it to Arina specifically when she was in pain, my guess is that it was a painkiller used as a palliative drug (meaning it makes you feel better but doesn't extend lifespan at all, morphine is commonly used for this in patients with terminal cancer and such). A drug that will cause addiction/death/whatever in a year is fine in a patient who is going to die from something else in 6 months.

So they don't really care for her.
They don't care if she dies.
Because she's not their real daughter.
They're just using her to assuage their sadness and guilt.

What a horrible family.

I think I agree that the candy isn't a poison, but rather a painkiller. The mom was probably crying whenever she gave it to Arina because that's the only thing she can do to help her suffering, dying daughter.

I think its more they (father and eldest son) are trying to protect the mother as much as the child.
Meanwhile the three children (eldest included) are also jealous of Hari getting all the attention.

The mother is just having mental issues.

Poor Hari... the family just treated her as a substitute doll and not a real family member..

The emotional pains that the children experiencing were the parents' fault especially the Father.

Damn. This is actually a situation where I can't really say anyone is in the wrong.

Hari doesn't deserve to be treated the way she is/was (although she is acting a bit childish for someone with a more mature mind).

The boys, for the most part, don't really know better. They aren't mature enough to handle their emotions, and their parents are teaching them how to handle them right.

The mother is mentally ill, which affects how she lashes out at the boys and puts Hari in a tough situation.

And the father is trying to reign back the mother's behavior while not letting the younger children learn of her condition. He's really the one most suited to help the situation but he's overburdened by it.

@GuyDudeman I think you've hit the nail on the head with that assessment.

As for this family, I get it. It is not easy dealing with a family member who's mind is not quite there. Several years ago I had to deal with my mother's cancer metastasizing to her brain and slowly stealing her from us, while at the same time alzheimers was taking my father's mother as well. If not for the amazing support of the rest of our extended family I do not think we would have came through it as well as we did.

The problem with the family in this story is they are trying very hard to keep it under wraps which causes an exponential amount of stress to be placed on each additional family member. It is no wonder that everyone is lashing out, there are a lot of complex emotions that not many people can deal with on their own.

The father needs to consult a doctor for this mess the mom's creating with her mental illness.
I just... in what way is looking the other way going to be good for the kids? He can't be honestly choosing to be blind to the bullying and this rift between him and the kids. I know I said logic doesn't fit in situations where there are high emotions involved because it's really tough to balance when it comes to people but he's deciding not only for himself but for all members of the family. He needs to be more logical.

hold the fuck up the mother poisoned Arina to euthanize her and now she's doing the same to her adopted daughter out of psycho habit?
