Family Matters is a periodic E-mail newsletter designed to strengthen family relationships. It is a service of Zondervan Publishing House. A parent's role is to be a friend to their adult child. A friend cares but does not interfere, manipulate or threaten to withhold love. You, as a grandparent, and your grandchild pit against the child's parents.
All triangles are destructive to healthy relationships.
It is essential for us mature parents to affirm all those in our extended family circle. Impulsive parents want to rush in and set things right. We need to accept our child's situation and learn to simply listen. Avoid treating your adult like a child. I taught you better.
