À propos de cet audio
How do today's parents cope when the dreams we had for our children clash with reality? What can we do for our 20- and even 30-somethings who can't seem to grow up? Who can we turn to when the kids aren't all right and we, their parents, are frightened, frustrated, resentful, embarrassed, and especially, disappointed? In this groundbreaking book, a social psychologist who's been chronicling the lives of American families for over two decades confronts our deepest concerns when our grown kids have failed to thrive. She listens to a generation that "did everything right" and expected its children to grow into happy, healthy, successful adults. But they haven't, at least not yet - and meanwhile, we're letting their problems threaten our health, marriages, security, freedom, careers, retirement, and other family relationships.
With warmth, empathy, and perspective, Dr. Adams offers a positive, life-affirming message to parents who are still trying to "fix" their adult children - Stop! She shows us how to separate from their problems without separating from them, and how to be a positive force in their lives while getting on with our own.

You are not alone in your disappointment
I have listened to this book twice now and always return to it in time of crisis caused by my adult child. You are not alone. This book takes me off the ledge and puts perspective back on the table. End result is that i am able to manage my disappointments, have a better outlook on my own life and simple get back to my life not my adult child’s choices for their lives. A must read for broken hearted parents.

Well done
A great reference for discussion as parents. The idea of detachment, particularly in the case where substance abuse is involved, seems abnormal and yet, a relief that it is ok to do so. Thank you for writing this book for all of the parents like us who need some guidance as we deal with problems with our grown children.
