[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell me your challenges parenting adult children. I am in the throes and have concluded this is by far the most difficult phase of them all. [/quote]

It is, because there’s no end, especially if you have a kid struggling with addiction, special needs, etc. Make sure you put plans in place for their financial care after you die. [/quote]

I think this is key. For those who don’t experience these sort of difficult issues, you are so lucky. For those of us who do, adulthood is the hardest stage of parenthood.

Me personally, I have one with cognitive issues but have been able to launch him. There is still a lot of worry because if he fails and we’re no longer around, he won’t have anyone to pick him up. So I’m probably more involved than most parents with kids his age.

I have a second with serious mental health issues and adult parenting is so freaking hard - and that’s after all of the years dealing with special services , IEPs, non mainstream schools, hospitalizations, residential treatment, etc. It’s the hardest stage.

Kid 3 is so wonderfully typical and normal. [/quote]
