I am 34 and the last 3 years or so, my Dad and I have
become really close....precisely because we have started
talking about his (and my own) depression...it's sort of bonded
us in a really spiritual way.I feel for you Greg, and your dilemna...I've felt the same way,
but in an opposite way---I'd like to off myself sometimes, but I won't
do it because it would kill my parents...and I couldn't do that to them.On a more hopeful note, my dad has struggled with a very painful depression for
most of his life, and it wassn't until his later years, that he has finally pulled out
of it...and he finally seems to have peace and happiness...it has inspired me...I hope I
don't have to wait that long...but at least it CAN happen....he's 65...I think he's been
happy since he was 55 or so...
