This may not sound right so let me reiterate. I have mental health issues too (just like my mom) or else I wouldn't seek support here. What I meant to say is that I strive not to take out my anger, fustration, irritation, (all of the negative aspects of depression & PTSD) on my son. She didn't go to counseling or take medication to help plus, during that time going to a psychiatrist for help was looked upon in embarressment or in shame.
