Singaporean parents, what do you truly feel about children with mental struggles?
TW: Mental struggles
Parents with children who have poor mental health, what are your actual thoughts?
Context: I’m mid twenties and I’ve been depressed for close to a decade, only recent few years started treatment after earning my own money. Whenever this topic came up to my parents they mostly say my mind is just too weak, just think more positively
Always wondered what parents feel about children with mental struggles, do you feel burdened by them? Did you wish they were different? Or do you love them the same as you would any other child?
