9. My daughter had two suicide attempts last year.

She is currently in a facility for 45 days to help her with anxiety and depression among other things. My daughter had to flee a domestic violence situation last February, so she and one of her sons has lived with us since then. She was hospitalized about 8 times last year and was in the hospital over Christmas and only home for one day since then. It has been a real roller coaster ride and stressful beyond belief. Her estranged husband constantly tries to talk her into coming back, and she continues to still communicate with him. The last time she spent any time with him, she tried to kill herself within a week. She won't press charges because she is afraid he will lose his job because he works in a care facility with fragile adults. Every facility, hospital, doctor, and therapist has told her to leave him. Keeping her alive has been a constant battle, and I am not sure if we can save her. We have a zoom meeting with her and her therapist on Tuesday to discuss her future. In the meantime, she was diagnosed with COVID yesterday.
