Ep 4 | They're Legally an Adult. You're Still Their Parent.

from You Only Know What You Know · host Compass Health Center

When your child turns 18, the relationship changes overnight — on paper. They’re legally an adult. They can make their own decisions. And yet, the worry, responsibility, and desire to help doesn’t disappear.In this episode, Beth and Britt sit down with Melissa Blitz, M.Ed., LCPC, Director, Center of Excellence and Greta Holt, LCSW, Principal Family Therapist, to explore what it means to parent at the edge of autonomy when a young adult is struggling with their mental health. Together, they talk about how to stay connected without overstepping, how to express concern without damaging trust, and what support looks like when you’re no longer in control of the decisions.The conversation also addresses a growing concern many families describe as “failure to launch.” Listeners will hear why today’s path to independence often looks different than it did in previous generations.→ Click here to download the Parent Guide
