“I want to express my gratitude for you and what you’ve done for my daughter. I’ll try to keep this as short and unsappy as possible. This last year has been a brutal one. has put me through the ringer. Drinking. Sending inappropriate pictures and text messages to boys at school. Breaking all of my house rules. Disrespectful to my mother and I. She’s been angry at me for divorce. She’s been angry at me for being gone so much for work. December we found notes to friends talking about suicide. She was self harming. Suffering depression and anxiety. She asked to be hospitalized. She spent a week in a mental hospital. Hardest time in my life. She’s told me how she has no respect for me and what a terrible mom I am. I’ve been carrying around the shattered pieces of my heart for months. Praying for something to change and for our relationship to heal. Then we found your gym. Thousands of dollars in therapy and what’s helped her the most, brought back her smile, given me back my daughter was you. She’s giving me hugs again. She even said she loved me yesterday. I can’t even express how big that is or what it meant to me. Sorry, it was still long and sappy. Lol

Anyway, thank you.”
