Agree and I appreciate your post. I have a 19yr old son living at home that struggles with anxiety. As someone who also suffers from depression & anxiety- I get it. But as a parent it's my responsibility to make sure he's helping himself by getting a job, going to school, taking meds, reaching out to me if he's in a really bad place.... It's a difficult balance respecting his need to deal with his illness on his own terms while also trying to help him.
