First, is the old man doing the right thing?
When many people are young, they may choose to take in some beggars in the past, or some people with physical or even mental disabilities because their families are too poor to marry. I thought this would not affect my life, and then people with mental disorders would naturally have many hidden dangers. Like this woman in the story, because she is often insane, she locks her wife in a room all the year round in order not to hurt others, which means that her wife can't help her share the housework and take care of the children. Everything needs to be borne by oneself, which also makes the elderly feel a little stressed, so the old man's approach is not very correct.
Second, what are the risks of the old man's practice?
First of all, mental illness may be inherited. For example, this woman in the story is extremely insane. She was lucky after giving birth to the baby. The child has no inherited mental illness, but this does not mean that it will not appear in the future. Many mental illnesses are not congenital. For example, this woman can sing and dance well, which explains why she suddenly lost her mind after years of study, probably because she was stimulated by the outside world This also means that future generations may also have such risks, so it does affect children.
Third, what impact will the old people's practices have on their children?
Regardless of whether the child will inherit mental illness, even health will affect psychology. After all, in the process of children's growth, friends around them will laugh at boys and mothers who are crazy, which will actually make children live in a state of inferiority since childhood, and will also affect their psychological soundness over time. And with the gradual growth of children, they also need to take care of their mothers and fathers, just because their mothers have mental illness, which means a greater burden in the future.
