Parental Alienation How To Deal With A Disrespectful Grown Child
A grown child disrespecting their parent in their home is a stressful, difficult situation.
It’s difficult for a parent to handle this type of disrespect because they often don’t feel empowered to make rules like they would with a younger child or enforce boundaries like they would with a disrespectful adult that they were not related to.
The grown child is an adult, likely with their own stresses and responsibilities, and they may not be handling the stresses of life in a healthy way.
That is still no reason to accept or enable disrespectful behavior. Everyone needs to learn how to manage their own stresses and emotions.
In situations like these, it’s easy to get angry after all of the sacrifices, time, and energy that went into raising the child.
The adult child acting ungrateful or disrespectful can feel like a slap in the face, but anger usually makes the situation worse because it reinforces that the adult child has the right to think the way they do or act the way they do.
How to deal with a disrespectful grown child really depends on where the disrespect is coming from. That’s the angle that we would start from.
