When You Have to Let Go of Your Adult Child

April 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Have you ever felt like your son or daughter is taking advantage of your generosity and yet you don’t know how to make them less dependent on you? When you live with the guilt of having an illness and not giving them the “perfect” life, it’s easy to become tangled up in the emotions of not knowing when and how to “do” tough love. You aren’t alone! Writing from firsthand experience, Allison Bottke identifies the lies that kept her, and ultimately her adult son in bondage-and how she overcame them. Author of “Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children” shares her personal story and will encourage you!

Six Steps to Hope and Healing for Struggling Parents" by Allion Bottke (Harvest House)

"Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children: Six Steps to Hope and Healing for Struggling Parents" by Allison Bottke (Harvest House)

Seems everyone has or knows of an adult child who is in and out of drugs, jail, jobs, relationships, siphoning money from their parents, grandparents, or other family members…and not willing to accept the consequences of their behavior. If it’s you, or you know someone who is in a similar situation…please keep reading.

I had the pleasure and privilege of working with a special project last year in the beginning stages. This week is a monumental moment for the founder, Allison Bottke, and this ministry, Setting Boundaries. I’m thrilled to see the launch of the new Setting Boundaries web site. This site is a valuable one-stop with all the resources available to parents and grandparents who are in pain due to difficult relationships they have with their dysfunctional adult children. From the cornerstone book, Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children, the resources range from online videos of real-life reenactments of situations (with solutions) that you might be dealing with TODAY to the national support group network, live webcasts, and so much more. You’ll quickly realize that you are not alone in your pain — this is an epidemic sweeping our country. However…there is help…there can be SANITY in your life and family again. 



Last year, I’d read some of the true stories of people who have started to implement the 6-steps to SANITY in their own lives after reading this book. With just the book in hand, parents were implementing the 6-steps to SANITY and positive changes were occurring. Any one step works. All 6 steps combined can bring results that you only dreamed of happening. With the addition of the support group network and the many online resources available…no one has to feel alone in their journey from pain to peace! 

There are so many good resources available on the new Setting Boundaries web site. Even if you don’t have a dysfunctional adult child…I guarantee you’ll meet or you already know someone who needs to hear this message. Tell a friend in need, help change a life! Please visit www.settingboundaries.com. 

Watch a real life scenario…”Mom, I need rent money!” — Does this sound like your situation?
