Hi Sara,

Just found this post years later. Are you a therapist? Do you take clients? Thank you.

Your question would require more than replying here in the comments. I do offer free zoom discovery calls if you want to get more clarity about this. You can schedule one here if you want to do that. I can’t change your daughter but I can totally help you create boundaries and have your own back! https://CoachingwithSara.as.me/Discovery

I have many problems with my 29 years old daughter.She scolds me if I don’t agree with her on any issues. She even told me that I am so ugly to show my face. She hates me very much. I cannot tolerate such pain. If possible pl suggest.

Hi Sara, I loved this post, especially where you said “When you have a life, you love; you are more attractive to everyone, including your adult children.” I totally agree with you on that. I am in that phase of moving into a more adult relationship with my 3 girls, and also coming to terms with my own journey. Thanks for writing this it has come at a great time for me.

Interesting topic and I admire your ways in which you have succeeded in this with your adult kids. I have to admit, as I continued to be ‘parented’ way past my adulthood by my father some of his behaviours continued with me. My husband is wiser but I was still MUM…sadly it has changed a lot in our family but, I have admitted where I went wrong to our kids and they have graciously accepted that I too am human.

I love my relationship with my adult children! We are the best of friends and are able to live separate lives while being totally supportive of each other, in both directions. My 30-something with 3 kids still comes to me as her first port of call for advice or toss ideas around, which is lovely, but it doesn’t mean she has to do as I say or think, I love being a mum to adults even more than I did as a mum to kids.

Hi Sara – this is a great post full of very useful advice – much of which we put into practice with our own adult children. Much like you, I’m so thrilled to see that they’ve made wonderful lives for themselves – our son followed a path that he’d had in his head from early high school, our daughter dabbled around and then ended up following the path everyone had suggested to her from early high school – I guess they all get to where they need to be, but often with a different pathway than we might have expected. I love that both are independent and have never drained us financially or emotionally – we must have done something right along the way! Now we have 2 grandgirls and are loving watching them being parented successfully too.
