Are you at your breaking point?
You love your child, but the situation is becoming unbearable.
You've tried everything to get them out of the house, to pay their own bills, start a career and connect with peers, but nothing is working.
Annina Schmid, Independency Coach
We can help you, if:
In spite of it all, you want to support your child - just in a different way.
You have had short-term successes, but improvements don’t last.
Your child refuses any help, even though you know they desperately need it.
You are willing to take charge of a situation that feels out of control.
You are willing to acknowledge your own role in the communication dynamic.
You are excited to do things differently going forward.
You have spent enough money on them and are prepared to invest in your own wellbeing instead.
You want your home and your spousal relationship back.
You are ready for lasting positive change.
Know this:
Worrying about your child is an understandable reaction, no matter their age. It means you’re a loving parent who cares for their wellbeing, and that they are lucky to have you.
This isn’t your fault. Personalities are always influenced by a multitude of factors. No parent, no matter how dedicated, can control a child’s development in all aspects. You did the best you could at any given time.
Help has arrived. You are here for a reason, and we know how to help. Congratulations for not giving up on your child, on yourself, on your hope for a better future.
How good would it feel to know you are able to handle this situation?
Imagine the relief you’ll feel when you no longer need to worry about their future. You’ll be able to enjoy your retirement as you had planned it and will no longer need to toss and turn at night wondering how it came to this and which bill to pay next.
If you are ready to move beyond the repeating cycle of lowering your expectations only to be disappointed or lied to, of fighting with your partner about how to proceed without coming to an agreement, and to finally put your own needs first, you are in the right place.
We’ll teach you how!
We believe in healthy boundaries, but
we do not believe in tough love or co-dependency.
