you’re in the middle of this right now - the mornings, the pleading, the not knowing if it’ll ever look different - I remember exactly what that felt like. The exhaustion of trying everything and watching none of it land. What changed things for us wasn’t more persuading. It was starting somewhere else entirely. I’m not going to pretend it was fast, or easy, or that there weren’t setbacks along the way. But there’s a version of this where it does get better, properly - not just managed, not just survived. My daughter is living proof of that for me, every day. If you’re still in the hard part: save this for the days you need reminding it’s possible. And if you know a parent who’s there right now, send them this. We got there - and so can you. With love, - Jules ♥️ #schoolrefusal #schoolanxiety #kidsmentalhealth #teenmentalhealth #teenanxiety
