Your child s ll not out of the nest? S ll needing too much of your help?

Some mes this con nued parental role may cause conﬂict between husbands and wives, for example, how to get a son or daughter “out on their own.” This vulnerable adult child may also create problems with a couple’s other children, brothers and sisters may be angry or frustrated to see Mom and Dad s ll taking care of a dependent sibling. Perhaps you thought all you would have to do at this me in your life was to care for yourself. Perhaps your worry and concern for this child is so stressful that it is impac ng your health and other rela onships. O$en, parents are worried, “what will happen if I’m not here to look out for this vulnerable adult child” or “is there some way I can ﬁnd help to plan for the future of my son or daughter?” Does anyone else have this problem?

The first week in September marks Na onal Grandparents Day. We would love to share photos of our members with their grandchildren (or with their grandparents!). We will feature these special moments in our 2nd floor display case all month long. If you would like to be included, please stop by the front desk and drop off your photos by August 31. At the end of the month, we will return them to you.

Na onal Grandparents Day

Information

As we move through life, we experience so many different transi ons. The path of life is not always clear. Perhaps some of our children have had difficulty ge#ng out on their own. They may have been unable to become independent because of physical disability, developmental disability, mental illness, alcohol/drug addic on or just a failure to thrive (can’t seem to hold onto a job). O$en when adult children have ongoing, long term problems, parents may con nue to provide emo onal, as well as financial support –in home or out of your home. Therefore, as parents of vulnerable or adult dependent children, it may seem as though “peace of mind” is hard to find.
