My 19 year old daughter has been dealing with depression and anxiety for a few years. She does really well managing it most the time, but sometimes she gets depressive episodes which breaks my heart as her dad. She’s In school 1 1/2 hours. away so I don’t see her often but we talk on the phone a few times a week and text.
Yesterday she came home, she had clearly lost weight, had dark circles, and her hair was badly knotted. She confessed she had been dealing with a depressive episode the last 2 weeks. She thought she would have to shave off her hair or cut it short.
Then my wife came home, she’s my daughter stepmom, I’ve been married to her for 5 years known her for 8. My daughter hasn’t always had a mother figure but my wife has been great for her. She spent almost 3 hours brushing out her hair, then put her hair In braids for the remainder of her school year. They’ve been having a self care day all day and she took her shopping for a few new clothes.
Anyway that’s all I’ve been in awe and had to share with someone. Going to spend time with my 2 favorite ladies.

thank you for sharing this ❤️
This is precious. Your wife is a gift to both of you.
Awww. I’m glad your wife and daughter have such a nice relationship, and that they can bond as women like that.
Please follow up to see if she needs professional help. It may just be temporary, but just keep an eye out, ya know?
Good luck to you!
Sounds like you married an awesome lady <3
Christ I thought this was gonna go south in such a bad way.
God bless all three of your hearts and may the universe ease.
Know that some old dude hundreds of miles away understands what it is to have been tossed about by the tumult of life and how precious the smallest of straws to grasp at can be.
Hugs, man.
What a great story.
