Hello my name is Dustin. I’m currently having a really really hard time with my depression it stems from my mother leaving me alone when I was just 14 years old it all started then now I have a wonderful wife and three wonderful children and they are suffering from my pain! I’m having a issue with pushing everyone away because that’s all I’ve ever known! It seems to me like when I get close to someone they either leave me or pass away so I’m scared of getting close would love some input on how to beat this nasty depression

You might be suffering from delayed stress...now is the time to find a good counselor and begin some therapy, if you haven't already. Take your family into family therapy, if that will help all of you...wishing you peace and healing...you can do this!

I agree that there could be delayed stress. I also think there's probably unresolved feelings of rejection and unforgiveness. That's totally normal and understandable! I'm so sorry it happened to you :( Yay for a great wife and kids! Can I tell you my honest thought of what would help? Celebrate Recovery. It isn't just for people dealing with addictions, but also for people dealing with past and present pain, similar to yours. I encourage you to find a local one. Most states have many chapters. Hope this helps. Again, I'm so sorry. That's just rough-any way you cut it! But-you're a survivor and you can learn to thrive!
