A validating, insightful, and inspiring read!
From the first page of I’m A Parent of An Adult Child. Now What?, the author validates much of what so many of us parents of adult children have felt and agonized over. D.H. Jones delivers the kind of insight that parents of adult children most certainly seek and need: a wise, compassionate, and deeply practical roadmap for the uncharted territory of adult-child parenting.
Jones shows not just empathy, but genuine insight into the delicate balance of loving an adult child while stepping into the new dynamics of the parent-adult child relationship. The book acknowledges and addresses complex emotions—pride, worry, relief, uncertainty—that often surface in parents of children moving into full adulthood.
What makes this book stand out is how Jones gets to the heart of the transition: you’re not done being a parent, your role is just transforming. The author offers tools, prayers, and affirmations that feel both empowering and respectful—to your child’s autonomy and to your ongoing love.
Whether you’re navigating independence, boundaries, or finding a new rhythm of connection, this book meets you where you are. You’ll find yourself nodding in recognition, sometimes breathing a sigh of relief, sometimes being challenged—but always invited to grow.
If I had to sum up why this book is a must-read for parents of adult children, it’s this: it lifts shame, offers hope, and refines and directs the conversation. It reassures you that your parenting journey doesn’t end at 18 (or whenever your child left home), but that it evolves. And in that evolution, there’s a beautiful chance for deeper relationship, mutual respect, and joy.
In short: D. H. Jones has crafted a meaningful, timely, and refreshing guide for a chapter of parenting few are prepared for—but everyone can benefit from. Highly recommended for anyone looking to thrive in this next phase of the parenting story.

I didn’t expect parenting to still feel this hard after my child became an adult. There’s no manual for how to love your grown child without overstepping, or how to handle the distance that sometimes comes with their independence. When this book was recommended to, I felt seen.
The author writes with such compassion and understanding—it felt like someone finally put words to everything I’ve been feeling. I especially appreciated the parts about reconnecting after estrangement and setting boundaries without guilt. Those are such tough topics, but the book offers gentle, practical steps that actually feel doable.
It also helped me look at my own patterns—how sometimes my “help” was really about my fear of letting go. Reading this reminded me that letting go isn’t giving up—it’s choosing to trust my child and myself.
This book gave me hope and a sense of peace I didn’t know I needed. If you’re a parent trying to figure out how to stay connected while still letting your adult child live their own life, this book is a true gift.
