Can't dispute that. You don't choose to be brought into the world by your parents, but if you've created a life yourself (or six lives in this case) then your first thought and responsibility should be to them, not yourself, no matter how dreadful you may feel.

I recognise that wealth and a (hopefully loving) family is no defence against the horrors of depression, but there is no mitigation for neglecting your responsibilities as a parent.
