    Judith R. Smith, Ph.D., LCSW, is a NYC based psychotherapist, professor, and researcher on women’s issues as they age. She is a professor, Emerita, at Fordham University. She offers support groups on-line for mothers with difficult adult children. Her book, Difficult: Mothering Challenging Adult Children through Conflict and Change, is based on a three-year research project, and brings to life the stories of fifty women, each over sixty years old, whose lives were drastically altered by becoming the default safety net for their adult “kids.”

    In this episode, Dr. Armstrong discusses with Dr. Smith the strain of dealing with issues such as serious mental health, chronic unemployment, and substance abuse disorder in one’s adult children and the prolonged impact on older mothers with adult children facing these challenges while trying to... age well.
