Input: My dad was diagnosed with depression a few years back and it hit him pretty hard. He was at the point of taking medication, on disability, and barely going through the motions of everyday life. As of now he's doing better but it's a subject our family doesn't really bring up, as we've all dealt with it in our own ways.

I'm working on college application essays right now, and we're tasked with multiple essay prompts about life and whatnot. My mom, and older siblings who are already in college have been pushing me to use my dad's depression as a theme for one of the essays. They argue that since it's affected me indirectly it's totally okay to write about it. I haven't asked my dad as it can feel like a touchy subject, and to me it can feel almost taboo.

I'm not sure how I feel as I know that I was affected, but as to the magnitude I'm still not sure since it's something I don't really try to think about anymore. I'm not sure if it's being manipulative, or if using a family member's mental sickness is wrong.
