this is a place setter for a website that is going to be able how my brother--Neal Westphalen-- and sister-in-law--Marcie Westphalen-- systematically removed me from their lives because of my mental illness. 

who knows when I will update it. it will be a surprise to everyone.

I have depression yet wasn't diagnosed until I was 29. I've been on medication since and see a psychiatrist twice a month and a therapist twice a month. I'm extremely med-resistant and a difficult case.

My father abandoned me. My step-father dislikes and disrespects me. Both my brothers have treated my poorly over the years-- dating my friends but never introducing me or allowing me to date their peers. Not really talking to me or dealing with me in a way that a caring sibling would. When I went through this abusive relationship, neither cared and both were pretty much out of my life because they were married and I guess felt they didn't need a sister any longer. OR perhaps never wanted or need a sister. Particularly one diagnosed with depression, anxiety and most recently a mood disorder.

60% of Americans suffer from depression. MANY people leave perfectly functioning lives with mental illness as I do but at the moment don't have a support system. My family has NEVER been supportive of me but I've been an embarrassment, a burden or a liability in their warped minds. No one wants to educated themselves about mental illness. If I had a brain tumor or cancer it would be completely acceptable.
