as a child, i was conscious of the fact that my mother was emotionally absent. as a teen, i began to resent my dad - partially because i was that rebellious age, and partially because my mother (first inexplicitly, then explicitly) blamed her depression on him. as an adult, i am just barely piecing together the ways in which i've been affected. (egs: fear of abandonment; fear of becoming suicidal, myself; pressure to make love relationships 'work'; mistrust of both males and females; hesitancy to begin a family of my own.)
