When They Need You Again

If you are an adult child of an emotionally immature, controlling, neglectful, or abusive parent, aging can bring a whole new kind of crisis. Your parent may be sick, isolated, financially unstable, or suddenly asking for more than they have in years. Maybe you are estranged. Maybe you are low contact, no contact, or still involved but exhausted. And now a relative has said it: Whatever happened in the past, that is still your mother. "You need to step up." "You will regret this later." This workbook is designed specifically for adult children of difficult aging parents who need to make a clear-headed decision about contact, caregiving, and boundaries without allowing guilt, fear, or family pressure to make the choice for them.
