Scenario

When parent-child closeness becomes emotional dependence

My adult daughter calls me multiple times a day for advice on everything from what to eat for lunch to major life decisions, and I realize I've never taught her to trust her own judgment because I get anxious when she struggles. We're both starting to see that our closeness might actually be keeping her from growing up.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Your love expresses itself through solving rather than witnessing, creating dependency where confidence should grow.
