I would be so grateful to not feel quite so incredibly depressed and hopeless just for once but i feel like I'm stuck and have been for most of my life. Im in my late 40s and had depression for as long as i have memories. .

My son got punched and kicked yesterday (i wasn't there but i know he wouldn't have started it) and the police told him he was lying. Im not impressed. He had a large bruise and the policeman said "that is consistent with a fall off a bike not a punch. I think its because this boy he has been hanging with is the son of a policeman. My son gets blamed in other situations that i know are not his fault. I feel so bad for him.
