When parent siblings trigger each other's parenting anxiety

My sister and I are both dealing with our teenage kids going through really hard times right now, and we used to be each other's parenting reality check, but lately when we talk about our kids we both just feel more anxious and inadequate. I think we're accidentally making each other feel worse when we're trying to help.

More people experience this than they realize.
