Hi my son and daughter also suffer from anxiety. It’s very tough seeing your kids going through something you have no full control over. Us as parents how can we lean on each other to help one another in helping our teens navigate through life better!

@Kmcdani5 it is really tough seeing your young people go through hard times, but I totally agree that it can be really helpful to find ways to turn to other parents for support and understanding. Heart
