Mothering challenging adult children
Happy Publication Day to Judith Smith, author of Difficult: mothering challenging adult children through conflict and change, which is published today!
Reading this very welcome book, I was faced with a barrage of emotions:
- Terrible sadness at the sacrifices made by so many women to keep their child as safe as they know how.
- Anger at the expectations and prejudices in the attitudes of others towards mothers giving a home or a helping hand to their adult children.
- Weary resignation in the knowledge that the public services needed to take over the care still do not exist in sufficient numbers.
- A smile at the similarities in so much of the book with my own field of child to parent violence and abuse.
- And a shout of joy that the book exists – an answer to so many emails and calls for help that I and others receive each week!
