When parents struggle with their teenager's need for belonging outside the family

My teenager has completely withdrawn from our family and spends all their time online with friends we've never met, and my spouse and I are fighting about whether to push for more family time or respect their need for independence, but really we're both just scared that we're losing them.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The biological imperative for young people to find their tribe beyond family can feel like rejection to parents whose own belonging is threatened.
