Are You Overly Involved In Your Adult Child's Life?

Parents of adult children so often have a hard time letting go. Their expectations are dashed and they feel that they need to get in there and either save their adult kid or control the choices they make. The reality is that all this worry and control is making the parent lose site of their own life that they need to take care of.

This is so true to the core. They do need to hit rock bottom. But it also goes the other way. It makes the adult child a stronger person.

You are so right, as parents your job is done when your son/daughter is an adult. You can only support them and thats all. Whatever they choose to do with their life is of no business to you. The parents need to step back and live their own lives, even if it means letting go completely of their child, remember boundaries must be set before you can have a healthy relationship with your children.

I don't know if it's psychosomatic or whatever, but I don't care if it is, because you've helped a lot with your suggestions. Thanks. J.

I stumbled onto one of your videos last week, and you mentioned certain natural substances to a person in France who seemed to need their benefits. I just would like to tell you, that I found myself identifying with the things you said, and I went out and got those same things myself. I've started taking just Fish Oil, and the benefits have been amazing. I feel better about myself, my mind doesn't go off on negative tangents so much, and I just feel more stable in my thinking.
