What an important post, Serena, thank you for sharing. My children are much younger, so I can't relate to the teen aspect, but I do understand how hard this must all be to juggle. It sounds like you're doing an amazing job x

Appreciate these thoughts. It's something I wrestle with as my youngest has various physical health needs that I wonder about my oldest often.

Thanks for sharing, Rachel! It's so hard to balance it all as a parent when one kid has more health needs than others.
