**Trigger Warning.
Mental Health, Suicidal thoughts, trying to be heard.
From the Dad: We wonder 'where did we go wrong?
We remember this happy girl. Did we fuck this up? How did we fuck up?
It's really hard.
From the Daughter:
Where it started.
It's hard to talk about it in the drive through. Maybe.
I just need to be more accepted by you.
