My story
Depressed boyfriend, devastated daughter
Can someone please help. My daughters boyfriend has been diagnosed with depression. He doesnt want to have any contact with her, even though they were extremely close. He does not want to break up the relationship but will not answer any phone calls or messages. Is this normal. He will talk to his friends but not his girl friend. I am not certain how to help my daughter through this, I have offered my support to her boyfriend as he has just acknowledged he has depression by visiting a GP. Can you please give me some advice.

I was in this situation, however i was your daughter.
My ex-boyfriend was diagnosed with depression and nothing i did was right, and he put me under a lot of stress, telling me that his feelings were my fault.
The best thing i ever did was to stop talking to him, and get over him. He needed to recover without the extra drama a relationship came with, and whilst i offered my support i did not push it.
Hard situation. Good luck
