Depression has many forms indeed but I think one of the important things that helps us get through the dark and difficult times is responsibility. Having responsibility is something that makes us get up every day and do the things we may not want to do but we have to do. Having a child is a hell of a way to get these things straight if you are trying to be a successful parent. The kids demand the best from us and we have to give it to them. I learned this the hard way, where I wasn’t who I should have been and have been in difficult situations because of my shortcomings. The important thing is we learn from them and try to move forward positively.
