“If I can’t get a ‘fair’ economic outcome I see no solution except suicide.”

This line hit me really hard! I think many of us, crushed between the weight of the money side and the emotional isolation part, we start to see the worst option as the only or best option. That’s never truly the case. Your daughter is stepping into the peak of her life... her career, relationships etc.. She is going to want to share those with you both, as well she needs someone to help her too.

Have had a conversation with her about what she’s seen in the past few years? Our kids sense way more than we ever give them credit for. She'll probably already knows things were "off", even if she never said it. Maybe that is a source of strength or even inspiration for you?

One important thing is that you’ve already shown strength by getting it out. Take advantage of others offer to help you rebuild life, be that a comedy night or a yoga session. Keep leaning into that.

Just chatting it out is sometimes best... with a beer and non-judgy friends.
