PS vs life experience essay

I'm in a dilemma regarding what/when I should include certain aspects of my life in my PS vs life experience essay. I have had a rough living situation for the past 2 years living with my brother who is schizophrenic and my grandfather who has alzheimer's. Some pretty wild shit has happened and I'd like to talk about it as it for sure has impacted my journey for applications. My dilemma is where I should include it (bc iPS>LE essay in terms of value). I feel like like my current PS has a pretty good flow and reasoning for why I want to become a PA but my living situation is much "juicier" and I guess I can turn it into my reasoning for becoming a PA, it definitely helps but it's not my main reason. What should I do?
