What happens after they're grown-but still need you?
In this therapist-informed guide for modern midlife parenting, Lori Wesmiller, M.S., helps parents navigate the emotional, practical, and often confusing territory of raising adult children. Whether your kids are stuck, struggling, still living at home, or pulling away-this book offers the clarity and support you've been craving.
With over 28 years in mental health and a personal journey as a single mom of two, Lori blends expertise and empathy to guide you through what comes next-because parenting doesn't end when they turn 18.
Inside, you'll find grounded advice on:
Letting go of guilt and rediscovering your own identity Setting healthy, sustainable boundaries-without shame Helping adult children with mental health or life struggles Parenting while facing burnout, perimenopause, or a changing sense of self Co-parenting, single parenting, and navigating estranged relationships Rebuilding your life, voice, and purpose-on your terms
This book isn't about judgment or quick fixes-it's about finding peace, empowerment, and connection in a season that often feels isolating. If you've ever felt stuck between loving your grown child and needing your own life back, this is for you.
Written in a warm, honest voice with real-life insight, They're Grown-Now What? is the midlife parenting book you didn't know you needed. Lori speaks directly to your heart while gently offering tools that make space for both compassion and boundaries.
You'll walk away with more than parenting advice-you'll reclaim your power, your presence, and your path forward.
Perfect for:
Parents of adult children struggling with independence Midlife women navigating changing family roles Readers seeking guidance on mental health and boundaries Single or co-parents raising teens or 20-somethings Anyone ready to reset, reconnect, and reclaim their space
