Desi's been there. A mental institution because she was a cutter. When she came out... she was better, but only for a while. I guess because things didn't really change. And what did only made it harder for her. You can't know what she'll be like when she gets out, but you can be there for her, even if she doesn't want you to be. Just let her know... how you feel and how much you wanna help her. Make sure that when she gets back, things change for the better, don't treat her like you did before.Just try to be better. I treated Desi just like I did before she left. But obviously, things were bad before she left and she needed the change that I tried to shield her from. Everyone things that the institution will make all her problems go away... it won't. It'll only postpone them. What she'll need is love and support from all those that love her.
