Coping With Your Grown Children is the only book to analyze-and lay out specific coping strategies for dealing with-the problems today's parents face with their adult offspring such as: - failure of the child to really "grow up" or achieve full potential - unemptied nests - moving back home after broken marriages - turning your home into a "daycare center" for your grandchildren - substance abuse, cult involvement, trouble with the law - alternative lifestyles or homosexuality - physical or psychiatric problems - or maybe you just think there's a problem!
