    This is great information. I especially like your first tip, not not wait until life is unbearable to seek help. So much pain and heartache can be avoided if help is obtained at the first sign of need. I also like the tip that you are not a bad parent if your child is struggling.There is nothing wrong with getting help to get through a hard time. Thanks for this great and encouraging information.
