I hope you can get family therapy and therapy for everyone cause that all sounds traumatic. I’m sure it is hard but all teenagers sucks and I’m sure eventually it’ll get better.

It will be lifelong. But they still need a stable parent, no matter how emotionally distant. Be strong. You are a hero no matter how it feels right now.

Think of it as slow and steady win the race. The kids have had nothing but chaos in their lives, now is the time to slow down and reconnect with them and learn to be a family again. If it was easy, you wouldn't need the therapy. You got this and are doing fantastic! It's normal to question everything, that's how you know you are doing to correctly.
