i'm so sorry that your father is so hard on you and you don't/didn't have a mother to side with you and support you to kind of even that out

i really want to encourage you to use your time at the university to get the help you need for yourself...without and "eyes and ears" of your father. then, if and when you're ready, you can let him in. i'm sure he's pushed you and may have overdone things with you so much. this is your time now, friend. reach out and grab it with both hands, sweetheart. this time is YOURS!

you deserve so much in this world silver...so much. i'll be here for you every step of the way...telling you of my pride in you. i'm so proud of you. you know this depression isn't the "way it's supposed to be". you're planning on your fight. you have a strength...a strength that is apparent to all you know you. work off of that and do what you need to do for yourself. you can make your life work for you.

we can't worry about tomorrow too much, sweetie. it's not here and if we do, we tend to lose too much of today to tomorrow. today know what you can do, and work towards that. tomorrow will take care of itself, because you'll be right there managing it somehow, someway.

i adore you. i'm proud of you. i respect you. i admire you. you're so brave. i support you. i'm so proud of you and i'm here for you.

love,

kd
