    Hello @skyelyn and a warm welcome to you. I am glad you've found us, but very sorry you are facing such difficulties. You write that "-i know there is a lot more people worse off than me " but that doesn't help, does it? If I have a massive toothache or one of my arms gets cut off in machinery, the pain that anyone else is experiencing doesn't reduce the pain I am feeling. And there's no good in thinking it should :smile: You're having a tough time and feeling very low, and you're perfectly entitled to feel whatever feelings you have - pain, hurt, anger, whatever. Here it is you and your feelings that matter.
    I have many times wondered "what is the point?" and I'm not sure I've found a good answer yet, except that remaining alive has allowed me to be here and to be of some little use to others.
    I'm hoping that you're not feeling that bad, but just in case I'm going to copy in something from our site:     If you are feeling suicidal please ring the Samaritans for free on 116 123. If you believe you are a currently a danger to yourself, please visit your local hospital immediately.
    We're here and listening, @skyelyn

    Warmest best wishes to you
    @JennysDad

    @skyelyn It's always hard when words come between people and others take sides. I would extend an olive branch to your daughter and see if she respond.
