[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 553977, member: 6705"] Jo... Part of it is simply that they never learned the skills to cope. That's a generalization, of course, but many of Gen-Y/millenials' parents are helicopter parents. I'll jump in and help my kids - [I]if they are helping themselves[/I] - but I don't do it for them. Onyxx does fine with this (now that she has realized my stepping back doesn't mean I don't love her); but Jett thinks it should be done for him and gets upset when things don't magically appear. I worry more about him, now - his coping skills are in the toilet. Onyxx is working on hers, but she learned a LOT in Residential Treatment Center (RTC). One major thing - how to listen and perhaps learn from others' mistakes. [/QUOTE]
