I became aware recently of why my youngest sister and myself were always treated badly in the family....particularly my mother toward me. I was never depressed before age 29, but now know why that happened. I know I'm much improved, yet it somehow still hovers as a stigma, but maybe that's just when I'm in contact with family members. I think my mother was the sick one, really, and had not the resources to help herself (good therapists in those days)....I'm wondering if anyone else reading thinks there is a stigma, and if so, how to move past all that. Peace, "help....."
