    As a young adult, the unsolicited advice from my mom really gets on my nerves. Especially since she always puts the blame on me when often it’s about things that are either out of my control, or situations that she hasn’t experienced before but thinks she knows everything about. If any parent out there wants a young adults perspective: we aren’t dumb, sometimes we’re going to make mistakes and sometimes life is just gonna keep throwing curveballs at us, but most of us really just want your support and understanding. If we mess up somewhere, we often already know and hearing it thrown at us again can be really frustrating. Parents act like they’re perfect all the time or something I swear. Sometimes advice is great, but when it comes in an accusatory way we’re probably just gonna dismiss it. Idk if anyone cares but there you go

      Your son is very fortunate that you are seeking out ways to communicate with him more healthily. I wish my own parents had the self,-awareness to do that. I had to cut ties with them because when I grew through as a result of good therapy they stayed stagnant and didn't accept any responsibility for our toxic family dynamic. Instead, they blamed me and called me 'crazy' because the therapy with my psychiatrist was 'proof' to them of that. Frankly, I think they were afraid because I was spilling the beans on the abuse they exacted upon me in childhood.

    Wow, there really is a video on everything on youtube!
    I am trying to improve on communicating with my daughters who are both in their 20s and still live with me, mostly because of the pandemic and also to support me since I was diagnosed with late stage cancer.
    I love them both very much but have a tendency to compare my past troubles in my own 20s to their present ones. I see it as advice but thet both see it as me just complaining and belittling their feelings and problems. I need to learn to listen in order to validate their feelings better and, thus, guide them through difficult times. I suggested therapy because that's where they can truly share their feelings about everything, including me. And I respect that.

    I appreciate what you are saying but it's hard when you guide your young adult children to water and they gravitate to eating mud. At some point I had to step back and let them to figure it out on their own. I love my kids and I love me too. To work everyday, paying bills and day to day living; making sure I am always available to my adult kids was exhausting. Every family is different. I pray my children find their way and succeed in what ever it is that makes them happy.

    From a young adult, I’m 21 and I’m treated like Im 15. Feels like my life has been passing me by just doing whatever my dad wants. It’s like I’m dead inside and I no longer know what to do with my life. I have to do Certain things and it feels as if I’m tied down. I’m not ever allowed to travel or do anything without them. I came home late for New Years and I was in deep trouble, should I have been home by 12 as usual on New Years ???? I’m instantly getting the talk. I can’t spend time with my bfs family bc it makes me look bad and I’m a whore for going to his house to have dinner ? Like seriously parents. Please understand your children. Especially if they’re like me, don’t go out, never been to a single party, don’t drink or do drugs. I don’t even have friends. Every time I make one, they always disappear, I can’t ever spent time with them, bc I’m so limited. Please just be careful.

    I'm 44 yrs. old . We surprised our 22yr. old son with a car after college graduation, he moved into a condo and was doing well financially and had a great job for a few years. He moved back home and we sat down that our home is temporary for him and he pays his share because being responsible is top priority as far as managing money and using time wisely. He is basically starting over again as we say to new opportunities and better choices this time. We tell him that it's ok to step back sometimes to access where you need to improve for future endeavors. He says home feels like boot camp since he returned. We say it only makes you stronger mentally to grow and become better.

He didn't get up for work .He seemed to be brooding and waited to be told to help only to negate everything .I finally had to make him move out. He was laying around wasn't planning on college ,was being rigid about helping out . woukdnt walk a block over to find work and wanted to run all night without a phone call..So it was hard but he had to go. Hes almost 21that was last summer.He now has a girlfriend and they have an appartment she works full time hes works 5 hours.. He doesn't call still and unless Im near death or its mothers day I dont hear much . He wants me whenn he wants something thats about it.If I invite him for dinner hell wait till the last minute to back out or offer empty gestures.I digress Its a good thing he feels like home isnt where he wants to dwell forever.

    My Son is 19. I raised him w respect and if I set a boundary w him, he just stops talking. Blows me off. He's been w a severely Narcissistic Father since he was 12. He has no communication skills w me when I set a boundary. He just ignores me forever and it hurts. I need advisement. I try to change the dynamic. But when he blows me off I keep trying to communicate. It's not working and I need a new strategy. When I give him space I
    May not hear from him for months. It hurts. I've been a great Mom for the most part. He doesn't treat his Father like this. I get a the anger, resentment, blow back etc. I do feel very codependent. He's my only Son. When he gets like this it feels a complete rejection of my love and care.

      @@LiveOnPurposeTV I'm sorry but what you said is actually kind of ableist. Yes he's responsible for himself. but what you're saying is very rigid and he needs boundaries, NOT an aggressive sentence that says 'you're an adult, take responsibility for your own life' and that's also ageist too. Nobody is perfect and I think what you said is pretty judgemental and harsh.

    I left my three children dad nine years ago. Moved from Georgia to Texas. My oldest daughter now lives in Scotland. I missed her prom and graduation. I respect why she is upset at me. Any suggestions to get her back in my life? She was 18 at the time.

      TamMoo, accept responsibility for your behavior and what happened. Show her how you have changed and what you have learned in life. Ask for permission to be a part of her life and then follow through with whatever you say. Don't promise if you can't deliver. Good luck.

      It depends on if it’s in your house, or if they are dependent on you... if not, let them be!
      If they are dependent on you, you need to get very good at expressing your expectations, needs and boundaries.
      You have a right to your boundaries. Spoken in a respectful way to both parties and following through consistently.
      You don’t owe them anything, unless maybe they have disabilities.

      I have a 23 year old daughter who was making some really poor decisions... I was doing some deep self work and learned different approaches with her. It’s been a tough road, but we’ve both made incredibly changes.
      One thing that has helped enormously, is I approach from a place of deep curiosity , instead of judgment.
      I’ve also learned to be vulnerable & say the things behind what I used to say (the true meaning).
      For example, before, I would tell her what she should be doing, that she could be better and ask “why”, not in a curious way...but in a frustrated condemning way. All that does is fracture a bridge.
      Now, I try to ask, and deeply listen. I try to say how much I care, without any manipulation or attachment to outcomes.
      The Personal Development School (has a you tube channel too) has revolutionized my thinking. I learned I have fearful avoidant attachment style. It helped me make sense of my past relationships, choices I’ve made and more.
      It’s helped me see my daughters behaviors in a whole new light. I can question my narratives better and be more open and compassionate. That feels safer to her, therefore she tells me more.
      I’ve learned about why we are attracted to the people we are...it’s usually subconscious, based on many things.
      If we go to relationships that aren’t good for us, it means our relationship to ourselves is usually not healthy. When we repair that, through healing our core wounds, subconscious programs, we change how we see the world and ourselves, & in turn, who we are attracted to.
      My thinking has been transformed through doing work through Thais Gibson (The Personal Development School). Her UA-cam channel is what started me on my current healing path.
      I wish you and your daughter well 💐

    My homeless daughter returned home yesterday with her homeless boyfriend, they want "help", but will take no advice... I don't want my daughter to be homeless, but I can't support her bad decisions. I bought her a tent and let her live in the backyard, maybe that sounds cruel to some, but what am I doing as a parent if I let them live in a warm house and freeload off me? IF they come to me with a PLAN, and need help executing to get on their feet, that is different, but just existing... I don't know how to motivate someone who has been homeless for over 2 years, they call themselves without a roof, not homeless, because "anywhere is a home where you rest your head, even if it is under the stars". Good grief... I am so confused.
