[quote=Anonymous]My mom has struggled with depression for years; when I was growing up, it was exacerbated by my dad’s narcissism. Not a great combo. Anyway, I internalized a lot of her relentless negativity. She still struggles with self-worth and I took a lot of that on as a kid. Now, as a well-therapized adult, I can see clearly how extreme it is - but when I was a kid, it seemed normal to think I was a loser. I went through a period of depression, too, but meds and really good therapy helped. Knock wood, no recurrence, but it’s something I keep an eye out for because I don’t want my kids to be impacted.[/quote]
