David is a successful businessman with a successful family and career. However, he suffers from chronic depression due to being emotionally neglected by his parents in childhood. He never expresses his emotions, and therefore, his wife chooses to divorce him.
David's birth was an accident, because his parents were already old and had basically lost their ability to move, so they were unable to raise him.
Throughout his childhood, it can be said that David raised himself. He was responsible for and solved everything by himself, and never told his parents.
Because of his parents' words, deeds, and even expressions, he told David not to express his emotions and needs, not to talk, not to ask.
So no matter what problems he encountered, he never told his parents, but solved them himself.
As an adult, he showed emotional restriction and self-isolation. His wife felt that he was cold, never expressed her feelings or showed any emotions. She felt that their relationship was empty and meaningless, and they eventually divorced.
The lack of emotion in childhood made David think "never have feelings, never show feelings, and never ask for anything from anyone."
As a result, he lost his wife and suffered from chronic depression, which was all caused by his parents. Emotionally neglectful of him.
Neglected children are often caused by the influence of these types of parents.
