Kids these days. A cartoon by Lars Kenseth, with Cartoon Collections: https://wired.trib.al/5nhsZix
When We Judge Moms About Their Children's Mental Health... Every one of us parents has experienced episodes of pain because of our child’s pain be it a bad spill off a bike or being excluded from a birthday party. Our pain becomes exponentially worse when our kids face things such as serious mood challenges, drug challenges, vaping challenges, motivation challenges, social challenges... the list goes on and on. Add to that, parents often feel judged by others for what is happening with their child.
