Who prepared you for this? Not the books. Not the gentle parenting community. Not your own parents who raised you in a completely different world. Your teenager has a smartphone, a social life you can't see, opinions you didn't give them, and a door they know how to slam. The decisions you're making right now are not small ones. And unlike every other important job in your life — there's no one in a uniform who looks you in the eye and says you're doing it right.
