When Your Adult Child Is Struggling and You Can’t Fix It

When your adult child is struggling and you can’t fix it, every part of you may want to step in, solve the problem, and protect them from the consequences. But loving your adult child and taking responsibility for your adult child are not the same thing. In this episode of Her Faithful Next Step™, we’re walking through four reminders for the mother who is worried about her adult child’s choices, finances, relationships, faith, or the direction their life is taking. We’ll talk about: • Telling the truth without continually repeating it • Why rescuing is not always the same as loving • Setting healthy boundaries when they are needed • Releasing the part of their journey that requires their own faith Sometimes your role changes from protecting to praying, from directing to trusting, and from fixing to releasing. Your adult child is not beyond God’s reach simply because they are beyond your control. 📖 Scriptures in this episode: Proverbs 3:5–6 KJV Galatians 6:5 KJV Romans 12:18 KJV 🌿 CHAPTERS 0:00 When Your Adult Child Is Struggling 0:46 1.
