Adult Children and Boundaries, Part 1

Parenting is a time-limited activity intended to help children become adults; ideally, parents then become friends and mentors to their grown-up children.  Lots of parents these days, however, are unsure how to make this transition or whether they should try.  What if an adult child is struggling?  What if the grandchildren are affected by the adult child's negative choices?  What kinds of support are appropriate?  Cinthia offers insight regarding what relationships with adult children should look like, how they can go wrong, why it can be so hard to change, and where to start.
