When adult children move back home and family roles get confused

My adult son moved back home during the pandemic and we thought it would be temporary but now it's been three years and we've all settled into this weird family dynamic where we're treating him like he's still a teenager. None of us knows how to shift it without hurting feelings or creating a crisis.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The comfort of familiar family patterns is preventing the necessary renegotiation of adult relationships and mutual respect.
