When parents and adult children can't navigate the transition from caretaking to peer relationship

My adult children and I are all trying to figure out how to have a relationship now that they don't need me the same way, but we keep falling back into old parent-child dynamics especially when we're stressed. I want to relate to them as adults but I don't know how to turn off the part of me that wants to fix everything for them.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family system is stuck between developmental stages because they haven't consciously renegotiated roles and boundaries as everyone has matured.
