11 ways to be an empathetic and supportive parent to your adult child without enabling them and stunting their emotional growth, by DrJeff4Help
At the same time, mental health treatment does not have to be mutually exclusive from the adult child contributing to their recovery in any way they can. Too many times, however, I see parents overly rescuing their children from their problems. This does not help their emotional health.
Do you struggle with knowing where to draw that fine line between letting him learn how to stand on their own two feet and bailing them out? Does helping your adult child tend to become a pattern of unhealthy rescuing? If you try to"save" your adult child every time they are in trouble, you may be making things worse in the long run. Parents, for sure, need to be thoughtful about how to assist their adult children without enabling them.
If they live with you, encourage working children to contribute part of their pay for room and home expenses. Gently remind them that their contribution is something they owe more to themselves than to you. Agree on a time limit on how long children can remain at home based on their abilities, willingness to strive toward goals, and what you find tolerable.
