"When my girlfriends and
I get together, all we ever do is complain about our adult
kids. We used to suffer in silence, but now we've finally
admitted to each other how incompetent we feel as mothers.
We're either worried about how screwed-up
our kids are or how screwed-up our relationships with our
kids are.
We all feel guilty and blame ourselves for
their problems. We commiserate, and that's a relief, but nothing
ever really changes ...."
-- A mother of adult children and future
support group participant
