rehabilitation had a negative impact on her marriage. Mrs. Fernández was emotionally separated from her husband,415 and later found herself involved in a divorce416. Likewise, the breakup of the family unit negatively affected her role in the family, in which she had shared the parenting, due to the fact that this role was significantly reduced417. Moreover, it was Mrs. Fernández who had to provide the financial support for the household, since her husband gave up his job (supra para. 253). 263. For his part, Claudio Furlan also suffered the consequences produced by the events in this case. In particular, there is evidence in the case file which suggests that he “was also affected by the circumstances of the past and the roles that the family structure gradually assigned to each of its members”418. The Court notes that the impact of the events of December 1998 was so great on Mr. Claudio Furlan that “[he could] specify the date” on which his family disintegrated and he ended up with his father: “it was December 21, at two o'clock in the afternoon [when he] was nine years old.”419 Furthermore, he pointed out during the public hearing that he “could even remember the color of Sebastián’s shoes” at the time of the accident since “these are things you can never forget, no matter how young you are.” Mr. Claudio Furlan has suffered mentally from this situation to the point where he is constantly reliving his family’s separation, he remembers specific details of his brother’s accident and of his parents’ separation.420 As a consequence of the distress suffered, Mr. Claudio Furlan’s life project revolves around his disabled brother and his father. For example, at one time, he changed his schedule and began attending night school in order to be able to accompany his brother and he currently lives very near Sebastián Furlan’s home to be available in case of an emergency.421 264. Finally, Ms. Sabina Furlan was also affected by the circumstances of this case, as confirmed by the socio-economic reports, which describe the breaking of the family ties and the fact that she had to live alone with her mother, away from those who were once her dearest loved ones, her two brothers and her father.422 Likewise, this Court considers proven that Sabina Furlan suffered from a lack of attention during her childhood due to the special care required by her older brother.423 Furthermore, the consequences of these events continue to this day; for example, Danilo Furlan mentioned that “[to] date, [Sabina does not] talk [to her father] due to the terrible circumstances she lived through during 415 During this interview Sebastián Furlan affirmed, ““my family is destroyed […]. [i]n fact, I have no family. My parents are separated”. Cf. Medical-Psychological expert opinion submitted by Doctor Luis Garzoni, pages 424432. 416 Cf.

He also had [two] other children, Sabina and Claudio. At every opportunity they would reproach me for my lack of attention towards them, when Sebastián demanded so much more than I could give him”.
