(2nd comment of 2) (See previous for warnings)

I'm in year 12, and the stress is definitely getting to me haha. (Stress laughter! Wonderful! Btw, I also laugh during breakdowns. Does anyone else do this??)

I feel like if I was given a bit more attention, we could've caught onto my mental health deterioration sooner and it would never have gotten to the point I'm at today.

To be clear, my parents don't emotionally neglect me or anything, it's just that they didn't pay quite as much attention and that caused some problems.

I also know that my sister's gone through a lot, including an eating disorder which she didn't tell anyone about, but it just kind of sucks to feel alone. My sister is one of the only things stopping me from just ending it. I couldn't break her like that, I just couldn't.

It's okay though, as long as you're making sure not to assume a child is just self-sufficient (like me) and you don't only focus on an ADHD's child ADHD (like my sister's ED passing by unnoticed), I think you'll be okay. There's always time to change your approach, and considering that you wrote this article I think your children will be pretty okay. <3
