When adult children move back home after major life changes

My adult daughter and I have been living together since her divorce last year and we're both grateful for the arrangement but we've never figured out how to be adults in the same space. We're stepping on each other's boundaries and neither of us knows how to bring it up without seeming ungrateful.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Returning to old roles after establishing independence requires renegotiating relationship dynamics that no longer fit who you've both become.
