Dear Simon:

You ask yourself: “are you a good father good husband good son. Why don’t you know your parent better“? – before you were a husband, before you were a father- you were a son.

“I am so so depressed it’s been like this for 30+ years” – you are 49 now, so you started being depressed way before you were a husband and a father. You were depressed as a teenager, maybe as early as a preteen, or earlier, and that was in the context of being a son.

“Why don’t you know your parent better“? – can you tell me what you mean by not knowing your parent better? I have a feeling that there’s a lot in this question/ answer that can give you the peace that you need.
