If you have ever felt ..
- stress due to work
- worried about your children’s well being
- how your children interact with other kids, and whether they get trapped into like technology games that could harm them
- whether or not they are being bullied, in a gang or fear gangsterism / drugs / rape / child abduction etc.
All of the above said, The Ugly Truth is here for any parent to just talk; share or vent in a decent matter that is respectful to all.
The Ugly Truth is what no one would openly discuss but hopefully some would be reached out to by relating; sharing their concerns and what is way forward regarding investing in our children.
