VENT: my child talking about suicide on Christmas Day

[Butterfly Dawn]

sorry I didn't mean to offend you

your right she is a lot better off then many.
its really sad that there's no help available to those in disparate need and those like yourself who could do with a hand of giving a partner a wake up call.

the system needs help and many of us need resources to call on at times.

I really didn't mean to offend or sound judgmental. was just running through ideas.

Hi Gigi, It must be very upsetting to hear your DD speak about her feelings of worthlessness. I hope your appointment in January is positive and gives you some direction in how to best help Bilby.

On a practical front, could you send with your DD whatever meals she will need whilst she is with her dad? A sandwich for lunch, a bowl of pasta for dinner...? I realise you shouldn't have to and that he should be capable of providing her with food, but if you send meals at least you will now she is fed whilst she is with him. Would he accept the meals if you tried? She could have a special lunchbox for when she is with daddy and you could make it something she looks forward to.
