We look for variety of situations, and questions we can authentically weigh in on either from personal experience or from a helpful, global perspective. We're not experts or clinicians, and we can't always help with super specific family dynamics that we haven't personally experienced, so if your question isn't chosen it's not because we didn't read it or don't care! โฅ๏ธ.
