Weirdly, authorities who claim they want to see depression- and suicide-free teenagers show no interest in learning from 12 million teens who have virtually achieved exactly that – spectacularly.
My son went through this exact scenario. He has an emotionally abusive, narcissistic father, and has struggled with anxiety, depression, and suicide attempts. Social media was a lifeline for him when he was going through the worst of it. Fast forward to today (he's 25 now), he's been in therapy for many years and still struggles with having a healthy relationship with his dad. We finally understand how narcissism works in families and have tools to work with it. Thank you for bringing this out into the light - it's critically important!
