"Just think positive. You can't control what has happened, but you can control how you respond. I hate to sound apathetic, but life happens to everyone. Shit happens to everyone."
Things my father just said to me after his failed attempt to understand me. How in the hell do you respond to people and their ignorance like this? How could I even put it into words to help him understand the darkness in me is not just a small sadness or the irrelevant, temporary pain that comes with a divorce or losing custody of his kids? How do I explain it so that he sees this is far more than life happening? That I cannot control this?

Emotional pain is very real...sometimes it has knocked me down with body pains and headaches.
Plus the symptoms are real....and people that claim to care about us should take a few mins of their time to get informed.
