Especially last year because Prozac destroyed me 2 years ago and I couldn't get out of bed until last June. He kept telling me to go across the street for food and I told him I couldn't get out of bed and he totally ignored me!
Last year he told me he doesn't know what mood is! I couldn't believe it! And he told me he never knew i had nervous breakdowns! He drove me to the hospital 6 times in early 90s after I completely broke down!
I told him a few months ago that I was done with him because he refuses to listen to a thing I say!
If I sound agitated it's because I am. I have agitated depression just like all of my mother's family had.

It definitely sounds like you've grown up in a toxic family system. Best thing you can do is distance yourself from it, if possible.
