My daughter Demi is 13, and yeah, I know people say this is the age when kids get “difficult,” but what we’re dealing with is way beyond typical teenage mood swings.
Recently, my daughter has been coming home from school with red, swollen eyes like she’s been crying, and she just seems so down all the time. I’ve tried talking to her, but she keeps brushing it off with, “Dad, it’s just school stuff!” I know when my kid’s lying, and this was definitely a lie.
