My dad was an alcoholic and he suffered from PTSD. His sister had a nervous breakdown. My mother-in-law committed suicide 17 years ago. My daughter has depression. I suffer from Bi-Polar II. My psychiatrist has told me that depression runs in families. I was saddened to learn that my daughter has depression. I was hoping it would skip her.

Incredible run of misfortune there, for sure. Hopefully, something will come out of all our work and perhaps put an end to the cycle.

I was lucky!!!!

My grandfather, my brother, and only cousin are alcoholics. I was skipped. I pray that my children will not have the same problem with it....
