Comments on: Are You Still The Baby Of The Family At Midlife? http://www.discoveraid.com/mid-life-crisis/are-you-still-the-baby-of-the-family-at-midlife.html Midlife is a time of change: lifestyle, career, relationships.

Its significant the support we get from parents, it seems to me it is so easy to fall back on that. My parents never bailed me out yet still in a very subtle way I sometimes find myself looking to them to solve things for me, even though I know my life bears no resemblance to their own life's experiences. Perhaps just being there for us is the best they can do for us, being there when they are still with us to help us stand on our own two feet. I know of a lady who's parents decided she was hopeless academically and chose to buy her a shop and manage it for her. For many years she continued to live under their shadow and effectively was denied important development lessons as a young adult as a result. Yet our parents only try to do their best. They know not what the impact can be of their actions sometimes. Best wishes Guy Hi Myra, thanks for commenting.

This is what I'm going through and it's really difficult. Not only do I need to make emotional changes being the youngest, but I have to become more financially responsible. I 've always had my parents to bail me out when I max out my credit cards. I just got back into counseling and I am determined to make big changes in my life now. Wow!
