Latest Family Issue

Yesterday my ex wife decided to take our oldest daughter to the hospital because she felt like our baby was in the early stages of depression.  When she told me, all I could think about was having to deal with her (ex wife) when she had her episodes years ago.  I want my daughter to get help but I hate that she has to experience the prison known as behavioral sciences.  I don't think my daughter has entertained any thoughts of suicide unlike the ex who tried to overdose of pills.  I wonder what has pushed her to this point.  Maybe it's the fact that she didn't pass her exam last December and is now sitting at how rather than pursuing her degree.  Maybe it's the fact that she's stuck at home with her bipolar mother.  Maybe it's the fact that the first real job she has ever gotten in her 22 years of life is working at Sonics (which is giving her lousy hours and she is not good at it apparently).  Maybe it's because she is trying to be strong for her 2 younger siblings because I asked her to when we discussed the divorce.  Maybe she is dealing with the demons of the molestation she went thru from her stepgrandfather (I guess that's what you would call him).  Whatever the reason, I hope she is able to open up to someone so she can start dealing.
