Family

Hi everyone,

My name is Abby and I am 15 and from Australia. Over the last few years my dad has been depressed and suicidal. My mum, brother's and I try our very best to support him in all of his emotional needs, although no matter what he pushes us away and blames his depression on my mum. Yesterday my dad tried to leave twice, both after huge arguments with my mum.

As a result of these arguments, I don't feel very safe at home. Mum and dad are constantly arguing and borderline emotionally abusive towards one another. I have called child protection over this and have spoken to family and friends about this. It's seriously taking a toll on my emotional health, I've become more depressed and anxious as a result.

Ladies and everyone in between, what can I do?
