In this episode, Winston Smith, Brian Munnings, Mike Emlet, and Myriam Hertzog talk about “tough love” when it comes to parenting adult children. Their discussion revolves around a listener’s question: “When is tough love appropriate for adult children? In this case, it concerns an older child living at home who shows no signs of faith, is unwilling to help or contribute to the running of the house, and yet also struggles with serious depression.”
