Why does Connor feel so hesitant?
If you've been keeping up with The Young and the Restless, then you know that Connor Newman’s struggle with his mental health has been a central plot lately. While his parents, Chelsea and Adam, are eager to get him into treatment, Connor has been noticeably resistant. But what’s the real reason behind his refusal?
Connor has been through a lot in his young life, and the idea of leaving home for treatment only adds to his emotional burden.
