I'm not worried.

I have anxiety.

I'm not sad.

I have depression.

Whereas we might have said, I want to run away from home when we were younger.

Kids now say, I want to kill myself.

They're going to these big declarations.

And so they're dismissing relationships, saying it's toxic because they want people to hear them.

And they're not missing that most every relationship we will ever have is going to have some conflict.

And one is obviously I'm the parent and I'm the one who's in charge of our house instead of your emotions being in charge of our house, which is what we're seeing more often than ever.
