I love Jack in this fic, I really do. I do feel for him.
Everyone is saying they are feeling sorry for him and I would love to feel so very sorry for him, as I usually do of Jack, but I don't know how it feels. For me, I am the depressed person and I know everyone wants to feel sorry for Jack and hopes Ianto gets better soon, but no one can forget that depression can't be helped and it can't just be fixed. Ianto can't see what Jack is going through...He can't even see what he's going through himself. Depression I guess is a difficult illness to feel sympathy with...I've never felt that people are that sympathetic. I think it's because people feel 'Oh the poor family having this person around who just feels sorry for themself all the time' because that is how it's treated.
I think Jack is doing good with Ianto. I know he feels unloved and wants his Ianto back, but it's difficult and Ianto can't just get better.
Everyday I will myself to be better. I just think please please please just make me happy and normal. When Ianto reaches that stage, that is when Jack will be the most important person in his life ever. And I think Jack will be great at that.
Sorry to ramble. I'm so glad you wrote this...More people should know about depression and it's effects. I think it's one of those things you can't begin to imagine until you've had it yourself, but it's things like this that help people to understand.
