Scenario

When parent and child share the same mental health struggle

My teenage daughter and I are both dealing with depression and some days we can barely get through basic tasks together, and I worry that my struggle is making hers worse while also knowing she's one of the few people who really understands what this feels like.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The intimacy of shared suffering can become both a source of deep understanding and a trap that amplifies the very patterns each person is trying to heal.
