Scenario

When parent and child share mental health struggles

My teenage daughter and I both have depression and we're in this strange dance where we're trying to take care of each other but also triggering each other's worst episodes. Sometimes I can't tell if I'm being a good mom or if we're both just drowning together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The boundary between caregiving and co-dependence dissolves when both people in a hierarchical relationship are struggling with the same condition.
