hey S. Good on you for answering her directly. You ask if she will know you tried. Trust me when I tell you that she knows. She is watching closely. They figure it all out in time.

You get to show her how to navigate through the tough stuff. Show her well. If you are ok, she will be, too.

As far as always wanting to see other's perspective, I think for those of us who grew up with turmoil, people pleasing comes with the territory most times.

But you matter, S. Your feelings, your opinions matter. No one person is better than any other person.

If took me 4 therapists to find the one that helped me change my life.

I like where you are headed, S. Keep on going.
