When Grown Kids Use Parents As Pawns

It can be a challenge to raise children and just because they are over 18 does not mean that the challenge stops.

In fact, there are times when the challenges just continue to grow.

One single mother discovered this for herself when her 21-year-old son threatened to move out

of her home and move in with his father unless she bought him a new car.

This really put her in a bad situation, and it certainly was not a sign of a healthy relationship.

What could she do in order to ensure that things go as smoothly as possible?

What can any parent who finds themselves in such a tight situation do to alleviate some of the issues?
