When Our Adult Children Don't Fulfill Our Needs

Not many parents talk about their relationships with their adult children especially if they are struggling in it.  Nobody told us we would be expecting our needs would be met at this time in our lives by our involvement with our adult kids.  No one told us that we are responsible for fulfilling our own needs, of finding our own happiness, not our children, not even our husbands.  Just because we may not be included in our adult children's lives as much as we would like doesn't mean they love us less.  Nothing has gone wrong; it's just different than we not only expected but were also hoping for. What do you want to do with your life now that your role as a parent has changed.

I am no longer offering my 8-week coaching program, but I remain fully committed to supporting parents of adult children. If you have questions or need guidance, you’re welcome to reach out to me directly at bonnie@bonnielyman.com.

I would be honored to help you find greater confidence and happiness in your life
