It's very hard to switch gear out of myself & focus on her. I know that sounds very selfish & not ideal parenting.
My husband & I are trying to keep on top of this now w/her therapist.
It is hard being a parent to a child with mental health issues, it is even harder when you have your own issues to deal with. We see too much of ourselves in our kids, and we don't want them to have the pain we have gone through.
