Stella's daughter Emma suffers with mental illness. Even before her parents went through a painful separation and what Stella refers to as a "high-conflict divorce, " Emma had begun withdrawing from life and her family. The crisis reached a peak when Stella learned that Emma was cutting - a form of self-harm that many teenagers resort to in order to cope with feelings of numbness, anxiety, or guilt.
