Pain:
It's hard to watch your child struggle or suffer, and even harder when their behavior is causing pain for you or others in your family. You may wonder what is the best thing to do or even feel helpless on how to change the situation.

Fear:
When your child is acting out or refusing to communicate, it's natural to feel scared about what the future holds. You may be worried about the long-term impact of their behavior on their life and your relationship.

Guilt:
You may wonder IF ONLY... this or that wouldn't have happened or maybe you feel guilty for not being able to fix the situation. You may even blame yourself for your child's behavior.

"I loved your format for the group and the material. I felt I got a lot out of the sessions. It helped me put things in perspective. The sessions made me feel good and not strange for wanting to have a relationship with my adult son; albeit a healthy relationship though, and to stop the disrespect! It also empowered me and helped me to focus on myself now, and that it's okay! Also, that I should have a life... I put my life "on hold" for such a long time."
