Welcome to WP!

Noone knows how, I think is the short explanation. It's not comfortable, growing up in a skull without windows.

At least while the myth persists that we're all in the same boat, it's sometimes bearable. To suddenly discover that it's just you and everyone else lives in a different world from which you're barred makes it tougher.

Hello, and welcome to the Wrong Planet, suepaula. You might wish to call your County Mental Health Services. Perhaps they'll be able to lead you and your daughter in the right direction. Take care and all the best to you both.
