Hmm, problems with your father? I've had many times with my father over the past 2 or 3 months... he tends to yell at me, over my boyfriend, constantly, even if we do nothing. He is jealous of him, and won't stop. It's continuous... But I'm not sure what you meant by " He was activated "...

Try to calm down though... I try to... and thinks go okay at times... if you can both settle.

Yea, I'm tired, about to pass out literally ( like I did earlier ), and all... so I probably made no sense. Later. :yawn:

Hi blondybear,
I found your post interesting. My niece, 16 yrs at the time, got very depressed when her dad was activated(military), also. She got in with the 'wrong' friends and quit school. When her dad returned, she went back to school and graduated this past June.
Now she's really depressed again. Are you angry with your dad? or your mom? If you don't mind I'm going to follow your posts, and of course throw my two sense in, once and awhile.

I'm a wall pugilist myself, and I'm not too fond of my dad, either. He didn't want kids, and never would have done a damn thing for us if my mom hadn't badgered him (of course, she was no peach herself, half the time). Nothing like feeling there's nothing you could ever do to win your father's love.

I have been diagnosed with depression as well as anxiety (actually depression, anxiety, OCD and a few others are all variations on a theme; tend to fall on different points of the same line, as it were), and my anger sometimes drives my depression to the point that I can't think of anything but suicide. It's pretty damn awful.

I know talking about myself isn't exactly help, but if you want to talk, I'm here, and I have some idea of how you feel.
