Samenvatting

Difficult presents detailed stories of how women balance their desire to protect their challenging adult children alongside feelings of resentment, helplessness, isolation, shame, and fear for their children’s future and their own safety.





A much-needed perspective on how to mother difficult adult children while balancing one’s own needs.

Difficult brings to life the conflicts that arise for mothers who are confronted with the unexpected, burdensome, and even catastrophic dependencies of their adult children associated with mental illness, substance use, or chronic unemployment. Through real stories of mothers and their challenging adult children, this book offers relatable, provocative, and, at times, shocking illustrations of the excruciating maternal dilemma: Which takes precedence—the needs of the mother or of the distressed adult child?

With guidance for finding social support, staying safe, engaging in self-care, and helping the adult child, Difficult is a compassionate resource for those living in a family situation which too many keep secret and allows readers to see that they are not alone.
