Balancing your needs with your adult child’s problems The fee for the entire series is $75; or you can purchase individual webinars, at $25 per session. If this price is not affordable, email judithrsmith@difficultmothering.com for a fee adjustment. Each week I get letters from mothers thanking me for writing Difficult. Women tell me how helpful it was to read the stories of mothers like themselves. The letters mention how hard it is to feel so alone. Mothers struggling with caring for a vulnerable or challenging adult child need information and support. I am a licensed clinical social worker with years of experience as a psychotherapist, professor, and researcher. My research over the years has focused on the mother/child relationship. After completing a multi-year research project on mothering in later life, I wrote the book “Difficult: Mothering Challenging Adult Children through Conflict and Change” published by Rowman and Littlefield in February, 2022. The sales for the book continue to be strong. There is now a kindle and an audible version. Please share information about these upcoming webinars with families who are struggling with caring for a vulnerable or abusive adult child. |
