Even in me as an adult, when I cry, my parents never hug me or take my hand, that confirms that they don't accept or care about this part of me. Plus when I told my mom once that I might suffer from depression, she told me that its impossible. She didnt even ask how I feel. I think that was one of the last times that I tried to talk about emotions to them.
But I dont wanna hijack this thread with my own ****  |
Hey, you can talk in this thread about whatever you please. Feel free.
I don't know how old you are but I'm 43 and when I was younger I also find some kind of reluctant from my parents about my situation. Mainly from my father. He wasn't brought up in a period when Psychology played a great role. Psychatrists were viewed only for people with sereve mental illness and depression was considered as a label for lazy people.
