Description

His depression creates such tension in the household that most of the time I avoid talking to him because I don’t want to hear the negativity he is sure to spew.

DEAR ABBY: After my mother’s death 10 years ago, my father moved in with me. He’s 74 and in reasonably good health but has always struggled with depression and social anxiety. He refuses to take medication. Although there are many opportunities for him to have social contact, he’s very critical of most family and friends.
