There is being empathic and feeling sad when your sister breaks up with her BF and is distraught about it. And then there is falling into a depression because your sister simply had a bad day. My father in this case is actually going through something serious emotionally. But I'm more of the 2nd person as a rule and that's not healthy. I'll edit the OP to clarify what I meant.
