From people who came through it
“If you're just starting with a teen who won't leave their room, I won't pretend I have the answers. For me, the waiting list felt endless and the exclusion letters kept coming. What helped was finding one other parent who got it. I still drive nights and Nathan still games, but we had a chat last week about nothing much. That was something.”
lost_quiet96 · 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“This time last year I was exactly where you are. The worst part was a friend group I do not trust. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. From someone who gets it.”
spring_seed95 · been through parenting a struggling teen“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.”
