About this listen

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

Just the book I needed!

Yes, it is a bit religious, but so is AA. When you are down, helpless and in need of help you'll take any help out there. Hence, you turn to God. If you don't believe in God, then don't read this book.

Instantly Life Changing

I absolutely loved this book. It was as if I was drinking the "water of life"! I am currently in the midst of similar situations with all three of my sons and now I have some direction. It feels good to know you're not alone and to get good sound and godly advice. This book, besides the Bible, is the best book ever written, in my opinion. The narrator was AWESOME and made and made notable inferences where needed. Amazing to listen to and I am preparing to listen again, making notes this time. I will be sharing with my friends and family. May God bless the author.
