After a series of bad choices, Shelly was a single mom without a clue of what to do next.

Then she got married and discovered a powerful resource for her family.

Focus helped with parenting, helped with marriage, you know, struggles that resources that they

suggested, they helped me tremendously in getting over guilt

and shame, walking me through that so that I knew how to be a believer and how to be a good

mom. So I can't imagine my early walk or my walk at all without focus on the family.

I'm Jim Daly.

I think to say to that 23-year-old, you know we love you, you know we want the best for you.

And so while you're here, we want to make this a learning time and a growth

time for us and you, because it's different now. You're an adult now. We're still your parents.

We care about you, but you're an adult. And so, but you're living with us. And so we want you to

experience some of the things that you're going to experience in the real world when you get out

there. That's Dr. Gary Chapman describing some of the things that you're going to experience in the real world when you get out there.

That's Dr. Gary Chapman describing some of the unique relational dynamics between a parent and an adult child and what we can do as parents to improve the relationship. Dr. Chapman joined us last time.

We're looking forward to having him back today on Focus on the Family with

Jim Daly. Thanks for joining us. I'm John Fuller. John, I think one of the hardest transitions
