Yeah. I'm depressed and my supposed emotional support network of friends and family has basically shut down. So I'm a bad depressive. I write about family issues on this blog because I feel I don't have any other outlet. Some of the communication breakdown was my fault. I didn't want to call people I haven't seen in a long time only to dump my issues on them.
Some people have been great about this. There are people on facebook that really helped me get back some perspective and talk things out with my mother. The vast majority of comments have been positive and supportive.
With a few exceptions.
One supposed friend told me I was a horrible person to say anything in public about my mother.
Another friend decided that it was hurtful to her that I didn't want to personally dump all of my issues on her specifically, even though we talk less than a few times a year.
Fine. Maybe I've fucked up my life even further by taking the only avenue I felt was open to me. Maybe I've found out more about who my friends are.
There are some people I owe phone calls to.
