Mothering in Later Life: Sometimes It Is Very Difficult

Mothering doesn’t end in adulthood, especially when a child faces mental illness, substance use, or chronic unemployment. In this session, Dr. Judith R. Smith, LCSW, PhD, explores how these challenges affect a mother’s identity, how to navigate complex emotions, and when to step in or step back. Drawing from her research and book, Difficult: Mothering Challenging Adult Children through Conflict and Change, she offers insight, tools, and support for mothers facing these struggles.​
