Ty for the upload, but damn I'm so sad ╥﹏╥ Dayeol's father doesn't listen to his so...

How can a parent effectively communicate with a child when they are unhappy as well? The father literally just said what the son said but in a response to what his son said. How can two unhappy people help one another? Trying looking at it from not just one point of view.

Good point. But the difference is that the father is an adult, Dayeol is a kid. If the dad is unhappy he should do something about his unhappiness and don't just drag down his own son cuz he can't take care of himself. He has more responsabilities as parent and adult.

I can agree with that but someone is going to have to show him the way parenting doesn't always come natural !

Yus. But I find it an annoying situation. Idk where the wife is, I don't see her. I can understand he's depressed for many reasons. But I find it bothersome, taking the good things that you have for granted. Everyone can go through a bad times, but you need to see the good things you have in order to move on :/

lol thats easy to say for someone who isnt depressed. They both can't help it. It doesn't matter if kid or adult. They need some distance between them actually. Cause yea two melancholic/depressed people just drag each other down. How is his father supposed to help him when he feels the same? The best he could do is put up a facade but have you thought about the father? Man he's lonely as well and probably doesn't have someone to talk to. I know what I'm talking about. My father tries to keep things away from us but sometimes he can't help it and explodes (hes not the type to cry, rather gets angry and frustrated). He shouts that everyone seeks for his help when they got problems (he owns a company) but no one is willing to help or support him. He's feeling lonely and lost cause he has to deal with everything himself. Right now he's having an existancial crisis because he fears of losing everything. I'm depressed since 4-5 years now but I would never expect my father to help or understand me cause he has his own battles to fight. Well thats a lie ofc I sometimes wish for him to kind of understand how I'm feeling but then I remember what he has to go through and shut up.
I don't like how everyone always pities children over adults just cause of the fact that they are children. The burdens adults have to deal with are often times greater and no one cares about them. I don't mean to belittle depressed teens lol no way I'm one of them but saying just because they adults they have to keep their feelings shut isn't right imo.

I think the mom is dead that is why you don't see a wife I think it was stated or mentioned in the previous chapters.

Thank you for this reply I realized this is the collective thinking when it comes to this genre. The parents have to support the children's feelings no matter what pr they aren't supportive parents. Idk why the authors like making the parents emotionally unstable and unsupportive. Or the parent doesn't get no happiness out of the story only the child does especially when the father/mother/parents will be present in the story. I would love to see the parent because its usually grow with their child as well. But you lol some authors aren't ready for that !

There are 3 steps that people go through their lives:
1) childhood/ oldhood - > I put these together because when you get old you tend to act like a child again;
2)teenhood - > here you start experiencing feelings, but you don't have a grip on them. Plus you start to figure out yourself, you become rebellious etc.
3)adulthood - > you start to understand better yourself and you have a better control over your feelings and actions. With time and self growth you understand better topics as religion, depression, abortion etc.
This is why I'll always say that adults have more RESPONSABILITIES over kids, teens and old people. If an adult is depressed is better to have someone by his side to help him. But even if he's alone, at some point he'll understand that he needs help.

I'll link some videos, I suggest you and your dad to look at them.

This are videos about depression and anxiety from a person that went through them and tried to kill himself 2 times. I don't think is a waste of time, it teaches you a lot of things and it tells you things that you need to hear.

Ty for opening up with your real life issues and explaining your situation. If you need someone to talk to, I'm willing to listen.
The fact that your father doesn't cry worries me a bit, because when people cry a lot of their burden goes away. If you don't cry it will just accumulated over time.
I said it before, but everyone goes through hard times.
When I was little I was bullied and out casted a few years. In my high school years it was difficult for me to interact with people. Even now I don't like to tmdeal with people, just a few ones. And I used to bring myself down, I thought I was ugly, noeone wanted me, I didn't want to go out cuz I didn't want to see people. I went through depression and anxiety as well. I didn't open up about my feelings, I didn't know how so I took my burden for a while alone.
Don't be like me. Is important to talk to someone and help people that need help.

You should try to talk with your father if he's a person that usually listens to you. Idk about your mother, if she's there try to talk with her as well.
Thing is that time passes and it doesn't look back. Nothing lasts forever and there is no way you can go back in time. And when it will be too late you can regret many things (I do, I wasted a lot of years and still need to work on myself).
And is not that I don't care about adults. But I believe that they can understand that they need help and in this story  noeone is getting any. It would be easier if a depressed person would have someone by his side to help him.

I'll try to look back, I don't recall Dayeol's past.
