When Independence Feels Impossible, SPACE-FTL Creates a Path Forward
If you're reading this, you've likely spent years watching your capable adult child struggle to launch into independence. You've wondered where you went wrong. You've tried everything—encouragement, tough love, ultimatums, accommodation—and nothing has worked.
​
The weight you're carrying is real. The financial strain. The emotional exhaustion. The fear about what happens when you're no longer here to support them.
​
But here's what most parents don't know: Your adult child's failure to launch isn't your fault—but you hold the key to changing it.
The Hidden Truth About Failure to Launch
Failure to Launch (also known as delayed adulthood, prolonged adolescence, or non-emerging adulthood) affects millions of families. Your adult child may be:
-
Living at home with no job or educational pursuit
-
Showing signs of depression or withdrawal
-
Spending excessive time alone in their room
-
Dependent on you financially and emotionally
-
Resistant to therapy or any form of help
​
The stakes are high. Research shows that prolonged Failure to Launch increases risks of depression, anxiety, and even self-harm. Every month that passes makes the path to independence harder.
​
And the burden isn't just on your child—it's on you too. The financial pressure. The strain on your marriage. The guilt. The fear. The sleepless nights wondering if they'll ever be okay.
How SPACE-FTL Helps Your Family Succeed
Unlike traditional therapy, SPACE-FTL works even when your adult child refuses help. The program empowers you—the parent—to create the conditions for change.
​
It's Family-Centered, Not Child-Centered
Research consistently shows that Failure To Launch is best addressed as a family system. By shifting your own behaviors and communication patterns, you create an environment that naturally promotes independence.
