Download When Our Grown Kids Disappoint Us: Letting Go of Their Problems, Loving Them Anyway, and Getting on with Our Lives AudioBook Free
Just how do today's parents manage when the dreams we had for our children clash with truth? What can we do for our 20- and even 30-somethings who can't seem to develop up? That can we use when the kids aren't fine and we, their parents, are frightened, frustrated, resentful, humiliated, and especially, disappointed? With this groundbreaking publication, a social psychologist who's been chronicling the lives of American households for over two decades confronts our deepest concerns when our grown kids have failed to thrive. She listens to a generation that "do everything right" and expected its children to develop into happy, healthy, successful men and women. However they haven't, at least not yet - and on the other hand, we're letting their problems threaten our health and wellness, marriages, security, independence, careers, pension, and other family relationships. With heat, empathy, and perspective, Dr. Adams offers an optimistic, life-affirming note to parents who are still seeking to "fix" their adult children - Stop! She shows us how to split up of their problems without separating from them, and exactly how to be a positive power in their lives while getting on with our own.
