Scenario

When parents and teens try to protect each other during crisis

My teenage daughter and I are both going through major life transitions — she's applying to colleges and I'm getting divorced from her father — and we keep trying to be strong for each other but I think we're both pretending more than we're actually coping. We don't know how to be honest about our fears without making things harder for the other person.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people attempting to shield each other from pain are creating distance precisely when they need authentic connection most.
