Dear Amy: I worry about their futures and their ability to become the people they want to become, have successful careers, and support themselves.
Dear Amy: I have trouble insulating myself from the anxiety caused by my young adult sons’ life issues. They are 21 and 26 years old.
Relationships with your children represent life’s longest game, and so you have to find healthy ways to pace yourself — otherwise your heart will stop every time your phone rings, and you’ll have a panic attack over every fender bender. You should then focus on your anxious reactions. Talking it through with a therapist could help; I would also suggest paying close attention to how your body feels when you are getting anxious. Does your breath quicken, does your heart race?
Do they know how anxious you are? Being as honest with them as they are with you might inspire them to volunteer more reassurances, and fewer reasons to worry.Dear Amy: I live in a popular winter vacation area, and I have guest who invite themselves and stay for seven days.I live far away from restaurants, so eating out every meal isn’t an option, plus when we do, I end up paying for everyone.
