My 15 year old daughter's online profile says (among other things):
"because shes sick.." the biggest cop-out ever
My heart sank when I read that. Everytime I make a parenting decision that she doesn't like she tries to blame it on my depression. What she doesn't get is that when I am making the decisions she doesn't like that's when I'm feeling BETTER. She tends to like my "depression" decisions (because I let her get away with more).
I wish that I didn't have depression. I wish that it didn't impact her. But I don't have those choices. All I can do is to do the best I can - but that really doesn't seem to be good enough.
