First off, I don't want anyone to think I am asking for any kind of donation, because I am not. I am just letting everyone know that my work and communication may be a bit slower than usual.

I need to let everyone know. I spent all day yesterday at the hospital with my daughter, she's 16 and has been struggling with depression and anxiety. Mostly due to everything she has had to deal with in her life before her mom and I married. Her biological father will not acknowledge that she is his, the guy who claims to be her dad refuses to pull his head out of his ass and be a dad unless it is convenient for him. Her mom and I have to be the ones to try and keep her from falling apart. To top it off she has been getting bullied at school and on social media by the same group of girls. The school has done very little to put a stop to it. It all finally got to her late Saturday night. After my wife and I went to sleep, she took more pills than she ever should and we didnt know about it until 7am Sunday morning and we almost lost her. Thankfully the pills were too low of a dosage and she didn't take enough that it was fatal, but it could have gone very differently. It was enough however to need to go to the hospital. We have done everything in our power to see to it she gets the help she needs to get better. she will be in a mental health care facility for the next 3 to 5 days or until they feel she is ready to be released. She chose to be put in the facility because she wants the help. things may get slow on my end for a few days, but I promise I have not forgotten about anyone. thank you all for every bit of support you have given and continue to give, you guys I could never express in words how much it means.

Take all the time you need, friend. I hope your daughter gets through all this. I’m sorry life is being so cruel to her. You do what you have to do, we’ll be here!

TT, this is a hobby, to be dropped and picked up whenever you choose to. Your family are the real world. Your daughter and your wife need you now more than ever so please take as long as you need. We appreciate the work you do so we'll still be here when you return. I wish your daughter all of the very best for her recovery. Acknowledging she needs help is a first step, asking for help is another positive.

Bro, from someone who's been in that situation, the only way to fix it is to attack the problem head on, find a way to reach the bullies parents and tell them off. Teachers are useless you can talk to them a 1000 times and nothing will get done, instead go to the source directly. You want to help your daughter ? Stop focusing all of your attention on healing her and instead focus on preventing the cause of her pain. She can spend months in rehabs and therapy groups, but as soon she goes back to that toxic environment, she will be back to square one, it's a waste of time, if her life is at stake, roll up your sleeves and go tell those parents to get their messed up kids to stop messing with her. It's up to you, but that's what I would do, because that's what my dad did when I was being bullied and it's the only thing that worked!

Absolutely understandable. Godspeed in the recovery.

Hey Tractor, that is terrible to hear about your daughter. Yes, you and your wife are going through a really tough time right now, I hope that you as a family push through all of this. Don't worry about the online stuff, that is the beauty of hobbies, you can just push them aside when much bigger and more important things like this occur. And bulling in any form is a bad, bad thing, schools should be vigilantly on top of this because they do not realize how damaging physically and psychologically it is on kids. Family always should come first, as a 3d artist myself, I know this all too well and so do my fans. I know I am new here, and don't worry about the requests right now, this is much more important to you Tractor. Take all of the time that you need, I really hope that your daughter gets the help that she needs and that your family will become whole again. Take care Tractor and thanks again for sharing such a personal moment in your life with us, I wish the best to you and your family!

We had a similar situation with our youngest several years back, everything turned out well. I hope that your family will also make it through this.

We are a strong, somewhat dysfunctional family, we will make it through this. Her and my son have both had it rough due to their other parents. I adopted my son back when he was 3 almost 4, he's almost 16 now. His mother was a junkie and her boyfriend was physically abusive to her. He witnessed things that no adult, let alone a child should ever have to witness. I have done everything in my power to keep these two children safe, but my reach only extends so far and the people who are supposed to be looking out for them while they are at school seem to be looking the other way.
