When teens live in a house where there's a lot of conflict, wanting to get away from it comes as a pretty natural response. Whether that's through sneaking out at night or numbing the pain with drugs, the teen AND their parents need to work together to find healing. In this week's interview with Heartlight teens, Mark talks to two high schoolers, including one young lady who shares how a painful relationship with her father drove her into a downward spiral ... but now, reconciliation seems possible.
