Scenario

When parent and child share mental health struggles

My teenage daughter and I are both dealing with depression and some days we can barely get each other out of bed, other days we're the only reason the other person functions. I don't know if this codependency is helping us survive or making us both sicker.

More people experience this than they realize.
