I have been involved with the CAS for about 2 months now, since the incident that occured involving my parents and I. A social worker once told me I could possibly be suffering from clinical depression. I didn't know what it was then, but I was willing to accept as an answer. I just wanted to know what was wrong with me then. It did take me about 3 or 4 weeks to finally accept that depression could be what the problem was; but my parents refused to accept it -- even when workers of the CAS had told them repeatedly.
How can I make them understand? They're denying and refusing to believe that I may be suffering from depression. They told me that if I did suffer from depression, that it would be THEIR fault. Basically, they gave me a whole guilt-trip lecture. How can I let them accept it, without believing that it's no fault of their own? And if it is, how could I help them accept it and improve on their actions instead of just being upset over it and not do anything about it?
