[QUOTE="NWSanta, post: 762058, member: 28782"] ....to support my Wife through these tough times. She suffers from Depression, and Anxiety and now my Step-Daughter, her Bio Daughter, is choosing drugs and living on the street instead of coming home and getting help. It's literally killing my Wife, everyday is a real struggle for my Wife. I am just at a total loss on how to help her through this.
