Littleforgetmenot,

This is so sad for you. Your dad obiously has problems withdepression and thinking that you have to be crazy to have it. He needs to be gently told that proplr are not crazy because they have depression even though they may feel it from time to time. Maybe he is just reacting to it the way he saw his father react to it?

I will say though that I don't think it is your mother causing your depression, it goes much deeper than that, even though her actions have contributed to your feeling down and unloved. I really hope that you speak to your social worker, often they can't do anything until we approach them about it because they cannot be seen to be putting ideas in our head...so give it a try

Thinking of you,

Rhi
