From people who came through it
“A note for the next person. I was where you are a year and a half ago. Back then it was vaping and lying. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.”
starcloud2000 · been through parenting a struggling teen“If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. I had to ask for help and it nearly killed me, but it was the right thing. Go slowly.”
Maiz · been through parenting a struggling teen“When your teen is struggling, you will feel like you are failing. You are not. The lying and the vaping and the closed door, it is not about you. Keep the small routines. For me it was Sunday hiking. One hour. It doesn't fix anything but it keeps you standing. Ask for help even if you are the one who usually gives it. And when they come out of their room for dinner, just say the food is good. Don't make it a big thing. They will come back when they are ready. In the meantime, you have to keep yourself well.”
Big Sage · been through parenting a struggling teen“Dear stranger, i was in the same place nearly four years ago. It was a friend group I do not trust and I couldn't see past it. Last month I had people round for dinner. Praying for you.”
