Father's Day Depression: Is the Social Network more about 'Sharing Happiness' or 'Bragging about-What You Have -that I Don't!'?

I searched for pictures of my father ... the closest ones I could find were 'one of Willem Dafoe' and 'one of Timothy Dalton' ... but this one is 'what my father did to me (tho he held out for as long as he could)'

My father tried. That's the best thing I can think of to say about him for Father's Day. He tried, and he failed; it's sad that he bailed (I don't even remember if he hung around long enough to 'give away' my sister), but he couldn't help without 'more suffering than it would be worth'--- ---sure, we would've "appreciated" it, but 'it's more than we deserve' (i.e. well, maybe we do deserve his support; but it would've seemed like "slave labor" or "imprisonment" to ask him-to stay or -to take me with him). But I see all these people posting 'pictures of their fathers,' thanking them for being good fathers (whether they're still alive or not)---and whining about how they "miss" their fathers that have passed-on (and ooooh! I could so "act out" in response to those 'miss our fathers'-posts ... saying something like, 'ah ... so your father's NOT in Heaven, or else you'd be glad he's gone ') And it feeds into the 'depression' that comes from seeing my friends post about their blessings (their fathers & weddings & children & grandchildren & pay-raises etc. ... stuff that--when I was younger--would fill me with 'the envious hope that I'd have something similar in the future') ... Reminds me of 'what comedian Dan C. https://vimeo.com/83955285 says about the social-network'---that most of the things we post there are 'for the dopamine-rush that comes from announcing a victory.' I guess I have to keep telling myself 'I did/am-doing/will-do that or something better' (whether I really did/do/will or not). Then I can just focus on 'how happy I am for them.' Sound good?
