Scenario

When adult children with chronic pain live at home and family roles become unclear

Our adult daughter lives with us because her endometriosis makes it hard to work consistently, but she treats us like staff instead of parents who are trying to help — my spouse thinks I'm too hard on her because 'she's in pain' but I think we're enabling her to avoid growing up.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Chronic pain can complicate the natural evolution of parent-child relationships, leaving everyone confused about love versus enabling.
