 adult children November 29, 2008
I needed this book to help me with some issues with my adult children who keep moving back home when they get in financial difficulties. The book helped a whole lot but the issues were not similar to mine.
FInally someone that can relate November 11, 2008
I have been struggling with my son for years and now I see that my enabling was not showing him understanding and love it was encouraging him to keep his bad habits and lack of motivation.
Awesome book! October 8, 2008
I felt like this book was written especially for me and about my 21 year old son. It has been very insightful and helpful.
 Fantastic guide to stop enabling your children October 2, 2008

Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children by Allison Bottke is an empowering book about letting your children go. Bottke's story is sad, and all too familiar to a lot of parents. Her adult son was addicted to drugs and has done multiple stints in prison and rehab. She cleaned up his mistakes, helped him get on his feet numerous times, and in return, he was verbally abusive. Bottke provides a plan called SANITY to stop enabling adult children who are living off of their parents, whether through addictions, bad choices, or just sheer laziness. She includes anecdotes from her own experiences, as well as other parents who have suffered. The advice is solid, as are the quizzes she uses to help the reader determine if they are enablers. My children aren't adults yet, but in reading, I did see several areas where I could end up enabling them in the future if I don't take steps now. Bottke offers hope to parents who are at the end of their rope and don't know where to turn.
Just what I needed! September 29, 2008
We have a 40-year-old daughter who is moving back in with us in a small apartment. She has LOTS of problems: BiPolar, Disassociative Personalty Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and others. I found much help in this book to help us help her without continuing to enable her. I would highly recommend this book to any parents with adult children with problems.
