the same girl.

Poor kid. Having a toxic father is awful.

I saw other girls with their dads growing up and wanted so much to have a dad who loved and protected me and mine didn't even use me as a prop or blame me for his bad decisions.

I hope she has at least one person in her life who loves her and will help her.

And Joe Biden will almost certainly be making a phone call to Ted Cruz to offer words of compassion.

In January, his daughter Caroline, then 13, came out as bisexual and said she disagreed with much of her father's politics.
The teen said people are quick to judge her over her Republican dad's politics, despite the fact that she often opposes his conservative views.
'A lot of people judge me based upon him at first glance,' she said in a TikTok. 'But I really disagree with most of his views.'

I believe this is the daughter who announced that she is bisexual and doesn't agree the politics of her family. The parents should acquire counseling so that they can help their daughter. The child needs professional care and support. The father, who professes himself as pro family, should resign and reside full-time in his Houston home to help his daughter. An attempted suicide is serious. There has likely been many other difficult situations involving the child. Cruz, Please get her medical therapy and get out of the public eye to help your own family.
