So my dad has depression but he always says stuff to my cousin on my dad’s side (his 10-years-younger brother’s child) like “Oh, you’re depressed? But you don’t act like it, you don’t mope around the house and hide in your room crying and acting sad”.

This cousin (13F) also potentially cuts (I’ve been talking to her and trying to help) and my dad asked what happened to her arm when her sleeve accidentally got rolled up. She said “nothing”.

Him: “You haven’t been cutting yourself, have you?”

Her: “No.”

Him: “Good, I don’t know why in the world you would do that when you have so much to be happy for.”
