Sidelined By your Adult Children?: How to Take Charge and Be Happy

An enormous amount of your life has been spent dedicated to raising your children, worrying about their happiness, and being overly concerned with pleasing them.

And what happened? Not what you expected!

As adult children they often exhibit diminished family loyalty and uncaring behavior, expect you to earn their love and respect, and have little problem saying good-bye when they no longer need you.

Sidelined by Your Adult Children? How to Take Charge and Be Happy is a remarkable book designed to help you regain control and liberate you from feeling angry, diminished, disrespected, or disappointed by your adult children.

Divided into “The Reality of Sidelining,” “Confronting Sidelining with an Open Mind,” and “Taking Charge,” authors Rosanne Rosen and Dr. Patricia James provide the equivalent of at least one hundred hours of real therapy in a nonthreatening and personal manner to help release you from feeling miserable and dejected as you develop a stronger and healthier relationship with your children.
