Thank you both for you kind words of support. As I was gathering up her clothes and books to take to the hospital, I saw her diary and read it. Apparently she's been thinking about this for a couple of months - even before school let out.

She is so afraid of disappointing me and wants so desperatly to be strong for everyone else, but she is also suffering deeply inside. And blaming herself for all that has happened, including me losing my job. Which is partly my fault as she's heard me say on more than one occasion that because of what happened I lost it and couldn't keep it together and I felt sure that had a lot to do with losing my job. I thought I had explained it to her though - that it wasn't HER fault, but HIS and my own coping, or lack of coping, skills. I cannot believe she has been struggling with this for so long. I had no clue.
