So, I'm 13, have a 15 year old brother, 9 year old sister, dad and mum! We are all very close! Around a year ago, my dad was diagnosed with depression. Now a days, he is usually grumpy, has very bad mood swings, and gets mad over little things? Even though he has always had a short temper, it has just gotten worse and worse. He goes to a physcatrist and still goes to work, but it just gets upsetting sometimes. My mum just tells me to ignore him, and bad mouths him sometimes, which doesnt make me feel better! At one point, my mum and dad nearly got a divorce cause his illness was so bad! Even though things are better between him and my mum, its still a difficult thing to deal with to be honest, and it has often resulted in us kids crying as he can be so scary and mean!

Causes of Depression for my dad: His work bosses (army) began to bully him about his weight.

Please give me advice on how to deal with this?? Thanks.
