    About this ebook

    What to Do When Parenting Gets Painfully Complicated

    Are your adult child’s mental, emotional, and physical health issues driving you to despair? Are you tempted to bail your son or daughter out of yet another impossible circumstance? When your child has reached (or long since passed) the point of independence, it’s difficult to know what your “help” as a parent should look like.

    From the author of bestseller Setting Boundaries® with Your Adult Children, Allison Bottke now offers an in-depth guide to help you connect with your troubled adult child, and to build your confidence, knowledge, and hope in challenging situations such as…

    • drug addiction
    • mental and emotional disabilities
    • military trauma and PTSD
    • personality disorders
    • financial trouble
    • depression and bipolar
    • divorce
    • incarceration
    • …and so much more

    Whether you’re facing these problems for the first time or looking to learn more, take a step back and develop effective strategies to truly help your adult child—without sacrificing your sanity.
