Ashlee talks about her relationship with her mom and how they managed through the dark days while bringing to real life a problem that is hidden in the lives of so many teens today. She emphasizes the importance of creating a connection with your children that allows for continued communication about difficult situations as well as creating an environment of trust and safety, which is ultimately what parents want to provide their children.
