Scenario

When co-parenting disagreements about social media affect a child's mental health

My partner's 13-year-old son lives with us half-time and his mom lets him have unrestricted social media access, while we're trying to create boundaries because of his depression. We can't control what happens at her house but we're watching him get worse and my partner feels helpless to create any consistency.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two households operating with different digital philosophies are inadvertently creating chaos for someone who needs stability most.
