I grew up with a father who has never been happy, has always been depressed and we as kids were always trying to find out ways to make him happy. Nothing ever did. And that hurt us as kids not knowing that it was not us making him unhappy, that that was just her state of being and there was nothing that we could do to bring him out of that funk. Eventually I know that is what killed him, you can’t live and thrive with that kind of sadness and depression in your life all of the time. There is no one who could stand that.

Depression is a terrible thing to live with. Whether or not it can be cured depends on the severity of it and the person affected. I believe it can be treated in everyone. Seeing your father unhappy must have been very hard for you. It’s good that you know it wasn’t your fault because I don’t believe your father would’ve wanted you to believe it was. I hope you’re okay. Perhaps his experience might give you some insight if you’re experiencing depression.
