I have a family member whose child had to leave their dream college two months into freshman year due to mental health, and is still living at home and struggling. I can’t imagine going through this as a parent. But I know how lucky your daughter is to have a mom who cares; who seeks to understand and help. My mental health struggles growing up were always swept under the rug, so I learned to hide them well until I collapsed in my 30s. I wish I’d had an advocate to help me navigate the system and get me the care I needed much sooner. So give yourself a pat on the back! Your daughter is lucky to have you. ❤️
Aww Liz, thank you for that encouragement! Thanks for sharing your own struggles. I am with you in how hard it is! I'm glad you got the support you needed too. We need each other in this journey!
