Nan, somehow I don't see a happy ending for them

And to be perfectly honest, I don't think that would be the best thing , at least not at this point in time. It is sad, because they both really love their daughter, but Samantha has some very real and serious issues. She has little to no support from her own family. We suspect she is bi-polar, she did have a doctor suspect this a few years ago but no clear diagnosis . She did agree to see a doctor a few months ago and went on some meds, but gave them up after a couple of weeks. I
am trying to offer her support and a safe environment for both her and Serenity.
