Scenario

When parents and teens both struggle with mental health

My teenage daughter and I are both dealing with depression and we've fallen into this pattern where we either completely avoid talking about it or we spiral into these intense conversations that leave us both worse off. I want us to find a way to acknowledge what we're both going through without drowning in it together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people sharing the same struggle can become trapped in cycles of mutual avoidance or overwhelming intensity, unable to find the middle path of honest acknowledgment without shared destruction.
