RE: Why do we see so much depression in the world, and to what extent is the negative media responsible for it? - Ecotrain Question of the Week
I think differently. Being raised without a father is a very serious trauma, called abandonment.
Everyone i have helped with depression has always turned out to be some unresolved trauma.
interesting.. me same.. lost my dad at 3 months age.. he died very young.. nevertheless.... i can think of a very many cases where that is very much not the case! most depressed kids with 2 parents are depressed for the reasons i have stated.. rather than trauma.. unless you count emotional abandonment.. which is a similar thing...
Yes, i count emotional abandonment as trauma. And it is one of the worst, because you don't have anything solid to point to.
This is even more exacerbated when you have a child of a narcissist. Where, the child is emotionally abandoned, of often emotionally tormented, but to the outside, the parent has always been there and seems to be nice enough.
yeah m x wife can tell you ALL about that..
well then I agree with you because emotional abandonment is the same as lacking real nurturing relationships.. or being alone..
sorry life has been so rough <3
