Summary
Dr. Chapman urges parents of adult children to assess themselves first putting blame on their adult child. These parents need to influence vs control and make requests rather than demands of their adult children. It’s critically important that parents maintain a relationship with their adult children, even when their child’s choices are heartbreaking.
