<font color="purple">It's really sad, I know there isn't anything I can do to change it.

No matter how many times I say I love him, and think he's the best dad ever he just thinks I'm joking aroung, that he's a horrible parent. Dosn't take care of himself like he should, and that he'll just "die in a few years anyways so what's the point?" this isn't anything new, he has had depression his whole life and he's just getting better at mixing it with other things, I remember walking into his room many times as a kid after he and mom were divorce and he'd be crying- but he'd always deny it.

Being a strongly empathetic person, it just really breaks my heart. Nothing I can do, I just don't want him to die all sad and lonely- I want him to know that he's not a failure...that he is loved so very much.

It's hard to see the keyboard when you're crying I don't think my dad has any sense of self-worth... </font>

((((((((((((( kaika & dad )))))))))))))

It's hard to watch those we love so down on themselves. I'll bet deep down inside he knows you love him....he just has a hard time admitting that you could because he feels so badly about himself. Such ashame I don't think my dad has any sense of self-worth...

(((((Kaika))))) being a child of a manic depressive myself, I know your frustration. The only thing that you can do is let him know that you love and appreciate him. But honey, don’t forget to take care of yourself. He’d feel even worse if he knew that his moods are bringing you down too.
