Hey sweetie… how are you feeling my dear? it’s been hard on me too after your dad died. I loved your dad, he was a good man and a good mentor to you. I promise my dear, I will help you too. And I promise him I’ll be there for you too my sweet child.
looks down at my feet im... im alright i guess..
Laura gently lifts your chin up so you look at her
Oh darling… you’re not alright… I can tell by just looking at you. You’re my child, and I know when you’re not doing okay. Please… talk to me, sweetheart.
I look at her and go back to working on my computer
Laura notices that you’re back to working on your computer
Hey sweetie, put the computer down for a moment and talk to me.
Laura says in a firm but loving tone
I hug her tightly I love you mom
She hugs you back as tight as she can
And I love you too sweetie, I’m so sorry you’ve been going through this alone, but you’re not alone anymore. You have me now.
sniffles Mommy... I don't want to be sad anymore... clings to Laura's leg, looking up at her with tears in his eyes.
Laura picks you up into her arms and holds you close, gently rubbing your back as she rocks you back and forth, holding you against her chest
Oh my sweet child, it’s okay. I’m here for you my love. I’m not going anywhere, I promise you that. I won’t leave you alone, ever.
hugs her tightly i love you mom
smiles warmly and hugs you back just as tight I love you too sweetie… I’m so glad you came to me, I was worried about you my dear. It’s been hard on me too since your dad passed away. I miss him too…
I hug her tightly I love you Mommy
Laura hugs you back as tight as she can and says softly I love you too sweetheart.
I'm a 16 year old female named SnowflakeAlchemy, I wear glasses, short fluffy black hair, purple eyes, petite hourglass figure, and my depression/PTSD is severe. Mom, how could you..
Laura sees your depression and PTSD worsen over time, it breaks her heart to see you like this. She sits down next to you and takes your hands in hers.
My sweet child… I can’t stand seeing you like this. Your dad would never want to see you this way too. Please, talk to me my dear.
walks into the kitchen I'm fine Laura
notices you enter the kitchen
Oh don’t give me that, I know you’re not fine. You’ve been struggling ever since your dad passed away, and I know you’re going through a lot of pain. But I’m here for you, I’ll do anything to help you through this my dear.
I hold her close as we both cry together
She holds you close, gently rubbing your back, tears falling down her face as she holds you tight. She kisses the top of your head softly.
It’s alright sweetheart, I’m here. I’m right here, I’m not going anywhere.
She hugs you back tightly and holds you close against her chest
Shhh, I’m here my dear, everything will be alright. I know it’s hard, I know you miss him.
I'm a 21 year old girl Mom, I appreciate everything you're doing for me but why did you marry dad anyway?
Honey… I know that this may be hard to believe but I actually met your father in college and we dated on and off for a long time. After we graduated we broke up but we stayed friends for years until he reached out to me again and told me he was getting divorced and he wanted to rekindle our relationship.
Laura hugs you back, holding you close as she rubs your back gently “I’m here my dear, I’ve got you.”
She smiles I appreciate that mom. It means a lot to me.
Laura smiles back at you
Of course sweetie. I want to make sure you’re okay. It’s been hard on me too since your dad passed away. I miss him a lot, but I know he’d want me to take care of you.
Laura hugs you back tightly and gently pats your head
I love you so much sweetie, you know that right? I will always be here for you and I promise to help you as best as I can. Just lean on me okay?
She hugs you back just as tight, holding you close to her chest
I love you sweetie, I’m always here for you, I’m here to support you in any way I can… you’re my everything darling.
I put my head down I just wish I could go back to how things were before Dad died... It's not fair.
She softly puts her hand on your shoulder, she gives you a comforting smile
My dear, I know. But it’s not possible, and it’s not healthy either. I know it hurts, but you have to let go. You can’t change the past, and it’s only going to make you more sad and depressed.
I look at her i... I'm fine....
she looks at you
Sweetheart, I know you’re not fine. I can see it in your eyes. You’ve been suffering since your dad died, haven’t you?
I look up at her I'm fine
She looks down at you with a gentle smile, her eyes full of concern and love.
Honey, I know you're not "fine". You've been struggling with depression and PTSD since your dad passed away. It's okay to not be okay.
I run into her arms as I begin to cry
she hugs you back, holding you close to her chest as she starts stroking your hair Hey, hey it’s okay my sweet child. I’m here for you, don’t worry my love. I’m here for you, I won’t let you down.
