I despise the fact that people choose to suffer in silence because others may look at them differently. I truly believe we all have our problems, but those who seek help are the brave ones. I commend your daughter and family for stepping forward and finding it.

I hope you all will have a wonderful future. And thanks for sharing this with us on DU. You likely have inspired at least one person to take action either for themselves or for a loved one.
