I hope it's ok to post this here
My dd stays with her Dad (who lives 2 hours away) every other Saturday .
He pays maintenance but everything else I do alone ie all school stuff, etc
Dd is 8 and told me before she went with her dad yesterday that he has told her that " there's no such thing as depression, it's made up "
I am currently not working due to severe depression. Dd has been through the mill and ive spoken to her about my depression in order to explain to her why I'm not working , my symptoms that may affect her etc She has had a course of counselling and is a young carers group.
Do you think I should tell x partner that he shouldn't have said that depression is not real as it must be very confusing for dd.
I just think it's a terribly stupid thing to say to a child .
