Alana here,
We have two teenagers, daughter is 15, son is 14. My husband has ALS. We did the general talk with them about what ALS is and honestly told them we don't know if this is going to be a slow/short process for Dad.
They are typical teenagers who don't want to help around house without the argument, fight with each other, show disrespect and many other minor things. I don't want to give them any guilt trip, but they need to make our family life more enjoyable without me getting on there case which stresses out my husband. I know they will be going through there own process and I know it's hard for them too. They don't talk about there feelings at this age as much and it has to be scary. I'm scared myself.
I will probably look into a therapy group for them that can help but just wanted to see how others may be handling things if they have teenagers.
Thanks for reading. Keeping my Hope & Faith & sending it forward to all.
Alana Cheers.
