Wow, I'm sad to read so many negative responses. :/ I believe that family should be a positive support system in someone's life when they're going through a rough time.

My father is my biggest support. He is diagnosed with major depression & anxiety and therefore can understand what I'm going through. He's always there to talk when I need to, and he's been there for me throughout my 5 hospital visits this past year. I can honestly say I wouldn't ask for any other dad.

My siblings are there for me too. My brother is younger than me, so I try not to talk too much about serious things...since he's still relatively young and I don't think he deserves that weight on his shoulders. He's been there for me though, came to visit me lots when I was in the hospital. My sister is always there for me too, she's there to talk whenever I need somebody to talk to.

My mother left the family when I was 4, so I really don't miss her or keep in touch with her. She doesn't really know what I'm going through, really! But I wouldn't want her support anyways, so it's all for the best.

Basically, my family understands what I'm going through. They're very patient, and kind, and loving people. They've helped me with my struggles, and I really appreciate that.
