================================================ Subject: Re: NCR: My Personal Tragedy From: "Is Maca Dazed" To: Date: Thu 13 Sep 2001 13:06:46 -0400 ================================================ Kerri, I'm sorry to hear about your parents breaking up! I know what your going through! My parents were together for 32 yrs and they recently broke up and now they're divorcing! I had no idea that they had problems! Your parents must have had problems and agrued but they just didn't want you to see this! Which parent would want their child(ren) to see any of it! Maybe your father just needs a break from everything to sort out what is really bothering him! Has anyone really tried to talk to him about how things are? What he is thinking or feeling? And as for the dpression, that also runs in my family but only thing it's not regular depression! Bi-Polar runs int he family and I'm positive that my mother has it, but she won't get the help she needs! Everyone keeps trying to help but ever since my father left, she hasn't been the same! Blocking the world out and just doesn't really care anymore. But, I know she is strong and she won't end her life, I pray she doesn't anyways! There really isn't anything anyone can do for your father unless he wants the help and he realizes that he needs the help! So I hope any of what I said will help,not sure how much but I'm just letting you know that your not the only one out there with parents breaking up. If you need to talk, I'm here!
