Sometimes the best thing is to ask for help

SO everything taken care of. Now I am trying to talk this person to seek some help. Apparently, her mom was abused by her dad and she also was unfortunate enough to get part of the punishment. She is young and her parents are going through a divorce. I know she is going through a lot and I am hoping that she seeks for help. She writes little comments like "can't I just die now..." And I talked to her about that. Well I know she doesn't want to take her life but sometimes it seems as though things would be better that way. I want to go talk to a professional. She needs to release everything she has bottled up and since her whole family is going through the same issues there is no way she can seek help within. I am sure her mom must be torn. I just hope the best for her.
