Why do you hate yourself @Youdontseehow?

most people drink because it changes their mood state?

Is your typical default mood state uneasy/low/uncomfortable/

What is going on for you?

Your daughter feels all that you are feeling as well as all of what goes on around her in her own life.

Humans put thoughts on things but they are not necessarily factually correct but we can all easily read emotional states so your daughter feels like her life is built on sand because the people who protect her in the world are in a difficult place emotionally.
