That was a very unkind thing of your dad to say. I have had my family say stuff like that to me too. It hurts. It's because they don't understand what depression is or mental illness in general. If he feels he has to distance himself from you then, well I guess thats his choice, but it won't make you magically better for him to continue with rude comments. Hope you feel better, and remember that what your going through isn't your fault. God bless.
