I haven't lost anyone in my family because of it (but it didn't help either of my two marriages either), but I don't feel like I can really talk to my family about it. My oldest sister doesn't believe I have real depression--she thinks its just my thyroid--but I got it checked and I know that's not it. My step-mother insists that its just because I'm too stupid to get a job and learn how to drive! My dad knows its partly due to the abuse I went through, but he doesn't think he was the one who abused me. No one else in my family cares.
