From the author of "God Allows U-Turns"...a book she never expected to write...Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children: Six Steps to Hope and Healing for Struggling Parents.
Do you have an adult child living with you (or elsewhere) whose life has you tied up in knots? Are their self-destructive choices, addictions and/or life-style breaking your heart and causing you (and perhaps other family members) pain and anguish? If so, help is on the way! "Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children - Six SANITY Steps to Hope & Healing for Struggling Parents," Allison's latest book, released February 2008. Already being hailed as a landmark non-fiction project, Setting Boundaries with Your Adult Children will help bring SANITY back to your life!
"Setting Boundaries" brings us face-to-face with a crippling plague sweeping our nation, and through six steps to freedom, invites readers to begin living a life of hope and renewal. In an era when personal accountability has become more and more scarce, it's often the parents who have spent years enabling their children who are now suffering. Feelings of guilt, shame, fear, anger, frustration, and the inability to trust our adult children invade our existence. How do these feelings play into the dynamic of not only accepting, but in some cases encouraging negative behavior in adult children? How can parents and grandparents define boundaries with adult children? In this important book, parents will learn not only to recognize the negative behavior of their adult children, but more important, their own negative responses to it as well. Responses that will need to be altered before change can occur.

ENDORSEMENTS
"Lack of boundaries with adult children is a worldwide epidemic with catastrophic consequences. Allison shares not only her experience as a parent who has traveled this painful road, but gives readers concrete tools to stop the insanity and start living a life of hope and healing.

- Heather Gemmen Wilson, author of "Startling Beauty, My Journey from Rape to Restoration"
"No one knows better the pain of dealing with adult children who have lost their way better than the parents of those without boundaries. Sometimes it feels as though the setting of these boundaries is more difficult than living with the anxiety, stress, and heartache, but that's not so. Allison Bottke, writing through her own hurt and experience, has compiled a masterpiece of advice. She doesn't just tell you or show you how it's done. She walks along beside you."
- Eva Marie & Jessica Everson, Co-authors of "Sex Lies and the Media" and "Sex, Lies, and High School"

- Judy Hampton, author of "Ready? Set? Go! - How Parents with Prodigals Can Get on with their Lives"
"Allison Bottke has stepped forward in a courageous, straight-from-the-heart manner and dealt with an issue that has plagued parents since the dawn of time: setting (and enforcing) boundaries for rebellious adult children. Having been not only a parent but a pastor who faced this issue countless times, I am excited to see that a mother who has wrestled with demons to see her child delivered has written a heartfelt yet practical book of advice and encouragement that will bless each and every one who reads it."
- Kathi Macias, author of 20 books, including "Mothers of the Bible Speak to Mothers Today"
