[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something I haven’t seen mentioned yet is this. Teen years are when mental health issues start to surface. Add that to the hormones and changing relationships and, well, scary doesn’t even come close to describing your ride through those years. I have a large age gap between my kids so I’m not far enough from the sleepless nights and toddler years to have forgotten them. I would never say to a mom of toddlers that they have a walk in the park compared to what might be in their future. But seriously, nothing prepares you for parenting a teen with mental illness. [/quote] I'm sorry. Yes, mental illness does show up or get worse in teens, and a lot of addiction issues do too. You are absolutely right. I'm sorry for what you have gone through. [/quote]
