About

The TroubledTeenBlog is going on it’s third year and was developed through my personal journey  with a teen moving through the transitions of Wilderness, residential treatment, and has returned home to graduate from high school. During this time I have felt isolation and the need to communicate with others that are experiencing the same troubled teens phase. The desire to talk openly about ones experiences, feelings and the loss of parenting while they are in treatment. This is not what any of us had in mind when we brought our children into this world and it take a large toll on all the extended family members.

This blog will hopefully provide information, comfort and bring together treatment families with those at many different phases of the process.  Feel free to share your experiences, comment and the ability to talk to other families about common issues. My son has returned home after two plus  years in treatment, my journey has taken a new path. It is our unconditional love for our children that keeps us in the process.  You will find real life experiences as you read through the archives.  This blog will continue to evolve and provide support with each new experience. We will all  continue to grow and deepen our understanding of the process together.  In the end and with new beginnings return to a peaceful life that will bring us all serenity.

This site is non-denominational and is not funded or supported by any organizations.

Please visit often, share your experiences and comment on any of the postings.
I am also looking for contributors to share their stories, both families and teens. More voices the richer the content.
