We have discussed it and agree, that if we had known how bad it was going to be during their teenage years in this day and age, we would have not had children at all.
It was an extremely stressful time in our lives. Constant battles. Aged us prematurely.
We developed this theory that teenagers are really aliens from outer space who invade the bodies of kids during their teen years.
We could come up with no other plausible explanation for why they were so "alien".
My condolences on your loss.
