[quote=Anonymous]I had a mother who suffered from clinical depression my entire childhood. She attempted suicide at least twice that I am now aware of (there would just be gaps when she was not there, I guess recovering?). My entire childhood was centered around her mood, was she angry, sad, in bed? Did we thank her for the dinner profusely enough? We tried in our way to make her happy or less sad by cleaning the house, making her tea and bringing it to bed, being unobtrusive. My father just chose to take work assignments overseas as often as possible. I now understand the basic emotional building blocks were not provided for us as children. I have sympathy for her but I am a profoundly scarred person because of her depression.[/quote]
