Raised Right, Still Broken: Why Good Parents Fail Their Adult Kids (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Parents who did everything right often find themselves asking the same question: Why is my child struggling? They gave their kids a loving home, instilled strong values, and provided every opportunity for success. Yet, despite all their efforts, they watch their adult children wrestle with insecurity, relationship failures, financial instability, or an overwhelming sense of dissatisfaction with life.

This book explores why good parenting doesn't always translate into well-adjusted adulthood. Many parents believe that raising a child with structure, discipline, and emotional support should guarantee a stable future. But the truth is more complicated. The way children interpret their upbringing, the societal pressures they face, and their own unique emotional wiring all play a role in how they transition into adulthood. Some carry silent wounds that their parents never noticed. Others struggle under the weight of expectations that were meant to guide them but instead became impossible standards to meet.

One of the most overlooked aspects of parenting is understanding how children internalize lessons differently. Two siblings raised in the same home can have vastly different emotional responses to discipline, encouragement, or adversity. Some children thrive under high expectations; others crumble under the pressure. Some develop resilience through struggle, while others feel abandoned when faced with challenges alone. Good parents don't intend to harm their children, but unintended consequences shape their children's adult experiences in ways they never imagined.

This book examines the subtle ways in which well-meaning parents may unknowingly set their children up for emotional and psychological struggles. A child who was praised for achievement may grow into an adult who measures their worth solely by external success. A child who was shielded from hardship may find themselves unprepared for life's inevitable setbacks. A child who was taught to always respect authority may struggle to set boundaries in unhealthy relationships.

Generational shifts also contribute to the disconnect between good parenting and positive adult outcomes. The skills that once guaranteed stabilityhard work, discipline, and conformitydon't always translate into modern success. Parents who raised their children to follow a straightforward path often see them struggle in a world that values adaptability over tradition. The career stability that once existed is gone. Social dynamics have changed. Mental health awareness has exposed emotional struggles that previous generations ignored. Many young adults are left feeling lost, uncertain, or unfulfilled, not because they weren't raised well, but because they were raised for a world that no longer exists.

This book also addresses the deep guilt many parents carry when they see their adult children struggling. They question every decision they made, wondering where they went wrong. But blame is not the answer. Understanding is. Parents must recognize that their role doesn't end when their child reaches adulthood. Their influence remains, but it must evolve. Lectures and expectations must give way to open conversations. Judgment must be replaced with guidance. The ability to admit past mistakes and acknowledge their child's perspective can be the key to healing strained relationships.

This book is for parents who did their best but still wonder what went wrong. It's for adult children who feel broken despite being raised with love. And it's for anyone who wants to bridge the gap between good intentions and real-world outcomes. Understanding the invisible struggles created by even the best parenting can lead to better communication, deeper relationships, and a path forward that heals rather than divides.
