My ds (17) is suffering from depression. My husband works away from home and only comes home at the weekend so I am dealing with the situation on a day to day basis more or less on my own. My ds has my full support but I find it hard to bite my tongue (but I always do) and remember it is the depression and not him talking when he says hurtful things. I know he can't help being a misery at the moment and I never reproach him for it - I just try to be there for him - and cook his favourite meals but what tips do others have for staying sane when living with a depressed teenager? I am finding this so hard
