Summary
Together Anna and Vickie tackle the following question:
"I have struggled so much with my teenage son. I feel like he hates me and doesn't want to spend time with us over Christmas at all and is heading to spend it with a mate! Is it wrong that I feel relieved? He's always saying that I prefer his sister over him, and I'm so ashamed because if I'm honest, it's true. Is there hope for my relationship with him?"

| 0:46.9 | Hi everyone. Welcome to a guest episode of The Therapy Edit. It is an Ask Anna. And for this one, it's about teenage parenting. I'm not there yet, |
| 0:58.4 | but I know someone who is, and I'm always so grateful of people on social media, especially |
| 1:03.6 | who just share honestly and openly about parenting teenagers, because whilst my oldest one |
| 1:09.2 | is 10, I'm seeing little hints of teenage |
