Dear Amy: You often mention the need to exercise “compassionate detachment,” especially with adult children. I need advice on how to make that shift.
There is a saying that being a parent is like having your heart wander around the world without you, and it is so true.
As a mom who is “only as happy as my most unhappy child,” I struggle with this all the time.

This is made worse by the fact that one of my adult children has significant mental health issues.
It is to the point where I often wake up in the middle of the night worrying.
Do you have any techniques or books you would recommend that would help me to develop greater compassionate detachment?
