THE FUSE

Here's a question I sometimes ask parents of struggling adult children. Before I give you that question, I want to add that it usually stops these parents in their tracks. That's because this question triggers them to become much more conscious of the constant grip their anxiety and problematic levels of guilt hold over them when it comes to their adult child. The question is: “When was the last time you made a plan without first wondering whether your adult child might need you?”
