Merry Christmas Gentlemen

My wife and I are especially grateful because my older daughter, who has struggled for years (eating disorder, crappy jobs, crappy relationships, no, no drugs involved), has found a new job and a good man and has never been healthier or happier. She’s as much of a fighter as anyone I’ve ever known and it’s the best feeling to see her this way. Merry Christmas.
Maybe TMI but you’re my friends (my wife would kill me if she found out I’m posting this): she had a really hard time in high school (body shaming, mean girls, eating disorder, sketchy friends) and it was really rough. I would sometimes sleep by the front door to ensure she wouldn’t sneak out. Anyway, I’m talking with her therapist and I mentioned that sometimes I wondered if she loved us. The therapist laughed.
“Why are you laughing?”
“I’m laughing because you’re an idiot. She adores you both. Life is just hard for her.”
Merry Christmas. Thanks for the support all these years. Best Christmas ever. God bless us every one.

Paris Hilton wishes us all the best. Her tree is bigger than mine.
I always look forward to reading your posts anytime you post.
As a parent , you are only as happy as your least happy child. I had a brief stint of my daughter suffering from bullying, and the emotional ramifications. It was the longest year of my life. I'm so happy for your family that this has settled out.
My wife is an MSN , CRNP in psych, and I am her life long project. Anyway, girls can be much more cruel than boys in the emotional torture they can inflict. Some real nasty stuff her clients were working through.
Glad you're heart is at rest, and pounding with pride dad.
Saw Paris driving her pink Bentley in Hollywood after PS pep rally for 2008? Rose Bowl. She pulled up alongside our crappy little rental car at a light. The pep rally was at Hollywood HS.Paris Hilton wishes us all the best. Her tree is bigger than mine.
What's this "gentlemen" crap? What about the rest of us?
"Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord."
Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Now that was some wonderful reading, thank you for sharing. Tell your daughter that a lot of really strange people on a random message board are all so happy to hear about her happiness and health.
I will. She was beaming when she left today. “This was the best Christmas.” “It absolutely was, Dad.” Damn.
Always.
Merry Christmas LionJim. I'll cheer for your oldest daughter's continued success. Some need a little more tumbling before the smooth edges begin to glean. No doubt a Merry Christmas to Remember.
Shalom
Thank you Jim! And Merry Christmas to you and your family! Such an inspiring story of perseverance and grit; happy it has paid off. There is nothing better than happy kids. Mine were like that for about two hours this morning before they started in on each other. Thank goodness for Christmas Champagne.....
