9 Red Flags Your Adult Child May Be Struggling

When I was in chiropractic school, I had no spare time. I was a single mother with three little girls under the age of 10. My days were filled to the hilt with getting them to school on time, getting me to my classes, studying in any down time I might have, picking them up from after school care, grabbing dinner, herding everyone together for baths and then tucking everyone into bed. I would then study some before I would get some needed sleep and then start over again the next day. When clinic started, I was at school even later. During one of my 4 years at chiropractic college, my change oil light came on. I ignored it because I fully believed that I didn’t have time! The reality was that I did. But, because I had invested so much energy into the FEELING that I had no time, my belief became my reality! Well, there are consequences for everything, so subsequently my engine seized. I paid attention then and learned a valuable lesson. The valuable time I didn’t have in the beginning turned into MORE time and expense needed to address the issue later. Moral of the story: you can’t ignore the warnings your body sends without major consequences.
