We currently need help navigating the teen years with our 13 year old daughter, as she is experiencing severe emotional swings, depression and defiance regarding our parenting boundaries. She has had an uptick in the last few months of saying things like, "I wish you were dead" and "I want to leave" and "I want to go to foster care."
We are at a loss, and feel like we've hit bottom in a way, despite current therapy and medications with her. This is not to mention the emotional and financial toll that is at play with helping our other children with therapies and specifically finding trauma informed specialists for them and their unique needs.
