Depression Understood Forums

My little sister (she's 12) has just about as much anxiety and depression as I do (maybe even more). She takes like four pills a day for it.
My step dad (her real dad) loses his temper easily, and well, today was no different. My sister was sitting by him and everything was fine but then he pushed her away and yelled "Stay the f*ck away from me!!". She ran out of the house crying.
To be more precise she ran away.
He hopped in his truck and his wheels squealed out of the driveway. I don't know if he's going to try and find her or if he's running away as well.
I...I hope he's finding her. I'm really scared right now.
What if she kills herself?

Dear holly,

I hope your sister has come home since you posted this. I hope you are okay. Keep us updated with what's going on with you,

Take care

Yes, let us know. It sounds like your step dad has some problems, and you two need some help. Talk to people outside of home to get help. teachers? Social workers? you could call? grandparents? I think your sister will be ok. I feel she will be back. Hang tight. We're here for you.
