From Guilt and Rescuing to a More Balanced Relationship with Your Adult Child

Do you feel like you're still having to take responsibility for your son or daughter's sense of happiness - even though they're grown up?

Maybe you find yourself stepping in and rescuing them from their problems; bailing them out financially or giving up your own time and needs to be there for them. You want to encourage them to be more independent, but then it's hard to say no to them when worry and guilt gets in the way.

It's that constant push-pull ...

And quite often, you end up feeling hurt because your help is taken for granted. You feel unappreciated, sometimes even disrespected.  You’re starting to get fed up with sacrificing your own time and energy, especially now that they’re grown up and you should have more time for yourself.

There’s a constant tension. One minute they need you, the next they resent your input and they push you away. You’re stuck in this push-pull cycle and it seems never ending. You just wish you could have a calmer, happier and more evenly balanced relationship with them.

If this feels familiar you're not alone

It's a very common experience for parents of adult children. This relationship is deeply unique. It needs special care to make the transition from the confusion of old roles and patterns, into a more balanced, adult-to-adult relationship.

  • In this 2-hour workshop:

  • I’ll help you set boundaries that actually work, and find ways of communicating with your adult child that won’t turn into arguments or shut-downs - so that you both feel more valued and heard. Plus, I’ll teach you simple techniques to help you get past the emotions that often compel you to rescue; such guilt, anxiety, and worry.

    There's something truly magical about the group experience

    In the small, intimate group, you’ll be able to meet other parents who understand exactly what you're going through; you can share your experiences together and give each other feedback and support.
    By the end of the workshop you'll have had the guidance and tools to help you step back from feeling so overly responsible for your adult child’ You’ll break the cycle of rescuing them at the cost of your own needs, and you’ll begin to enjoy a more equally balanced and happier relationship.
