Publisher's Summary

Writing from firsthand experience, Allison Bottke identifies the lies that kept her, and ultimately her son, in bondage - and how she overcame them. Additional real-life stories from other parents appear throughout the audio.

A tough-love guide to coping with dysfunctional adult children, Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children will empower families by offering hope and healing through S.A.N.I.T.Y. - a six-step program to help parents regain control in their homes and in their lives.

S = STOP enabling, STOP blaming yourself, and STOP the flow of money
A = Assemble a support group
N = Nip excuses in the bud
I = Implement rules/boundaries
T = Trust your instincts
Y = Yield everything to God

Not recommended

Good at the beginning….then turns into a religious rant. People buy this book for help. She basically says give all your troubles to god 🤷‍♀️

Insufferable Evangelical Tilt

Some really good practical advice for enabling parents. The author’s persistent use of Biblical themes and Christian dogma was disappointing. Reminds me to read reviews before I purchase but I have made use of the practical advice so I did complete the book.
