Hi Nat92, I completely understand your frustration with your family. My family isn't exactly the same, but we have a dysfunctional dynamic. My family just adds to my depression, whether they realize it or not.

I don't have any advice for you, because I am still in the throes of it despite living hundreds of miles away from my family. But, I can tell you that many people can actually relate to your story even if they are not in the chatrooms or post a reply.

We are all here to be supportive, so I hope you find some comfort in the replies on this thread.
