their father wouldn't even talk about it when she would go in and not come back for months and months. it was like it wasn't happening.

makes me sad for my uncle my family the generations of hiding and being ashamed.
it left me feeling wounded
My family might admit that they have a bipolar member of the family (me), but they would never admit that any of the rest of them have any issues. And none of them are diagnosed, so in a way, they're right! But I know better. I've seen things that show that they definitely have issues. They don't have to have been admitted to have mental issues.
