Parental Burnout: The Stress of Parenting Young Adults

Parental burnout can occur at any age, not just with parents of young children. The stress of raising children, especially when things are not going well, can lead to overwhelming work and family demands. Differentiating between burnout and depression is important. The inability to control or influence young adults can be a significant source of stress for parents. Being patient and understanding that this phase will pass is crucial.
