Example text
I learned instead to focus on other things and people; namely, on my son. I began to live his life for him because so much of my own life was far too painful to deal with.

No matter where you fall on the continuum, if you have an adult child whose life is one crisis after another, and you find yourself entangled in his or her ongoing drama as though it were your own life, there is a way out.
