This morning D12 is staying home from school. W cames and stand in the doorway of 'my room' and tells me in a 'neutral' voice that D12 is staying home today for a 'mental health day' because she isn't feeling very good right now.

I sat with her in her room for a couple minutes and she's just depressed, reading a book. I'll take her for a hike or something a little later.

W talked to me for a moment a little while ago, telling me her schedule for today. She was irritated when I wasn't enthusiastic in my conversation. I'm sure it's annoying for her to live with her 'husband' who is not thrilled with the way life is going. She'll be so happy to be free of that burden. So she can 'fly' and 'thrive' instead of just 'survive'.
