What are some failure to launch symptoms?

With the addictions industry and recovery community realizing that Failure to Launch syndrome is for real, we naturally search for answers on how to get a failure to launch syndrome help. First of all, we can’t fix failure to launch syndrome until we know exactly what the failure to launch symptoms are. So let’s take a few moments to recognize and go over the symptoms of failure to launch. At first, you may begin to notice a loved one suffering from failure to launch begin to isolate themselves from everyone around them. Isolation is a huge symptom of the failure to launch because the person suffering from failure to launch syndrome feels like a failure and tends to not want to interact with others so that no one is exposed to their so-called failure.
Another huge symptom of the failure to launch syndrome is your loved one can’t hold down a job. A lack of pure self-confidence plays a major role in not being able to hold down a job. Failure to Launch syndrome leaves us without the skills and knowledge needed to stay gainfully employed.
Another huge symptom of the failure to launch syndrome is not being able to hold down a relationship with a significant other. Those of us suffering from failure to launch syndrome don’t want others, especially a significant other, to know our shortcomings brought on by failure to launch syndrome. Those people suffering from failure to launch syndrome would prefer to be alone. Not being able to dig ourselves out of our own trouble spots in life is another huge symptom of the failure to launch syndrome.
A large percentage of people suffering from failure to launch is a direct result of helicopter parenting or snowplow parenting. These two styles of parenting cripple children and young adult children by not giving them the self-confidence and skills to get themselves out of their own messes. We need to give our children enough space to make their own crucial decisions in life that sends them on a successful path.
Our next symptom of the failure to launch is that we can expect our loved one suffering from failure to launch to not be able to pay their own bills and pay their own way in life. Because unemployment is so high in those of us suffering from failure to launch, we can expect to see our loved ones afflicted with failure to launch fail miserably when it comes to paying bills. Again, because of the destructive styles of parenting, our loved ones suffering from failure to launch have usually had everything taken care of for them in life, especially financially. And in turn, this produces a catastrophic effect when someone with failure to launch syndrome tries to pay their own way in life. They absolutely can not do it. They expect the parental safety net to “swoop” down at any time to save them.
One of the biggest symptoms of failure to launch syndrome is an addiction. The feeling of worthlessness and failure brought on by failure to launch syndrome is enough to turn young people to drugs and alcohol. The numbing effect that drugs and alcohol temporarily bring to those suffering from failure to launch is very appealing. And over time, those people numbing from the feelings brought on by failure to launch syndrome develop a full-on addiction to whatever drugs they are taking.

What causes failure to launch?

What causes failure to launch?

Up until last year, failure to launch syndrome was looked at as nothing more than laziness and our young adult children or nothing more than a minor personality and motivational defect in our young adult children. But now that more light has been shed on the lack of motivation in our millennials and the inability in our young adult children to be responsible members of society we now need to look at the causes of failure to launch syndrome in our youth. We cannot fix failure to launch syndrome until we know why our young adult children are suffering from failure to launch syndrome. It has become extremely important to zero in on our parenting methods involved in the upbringing of those of us afflicted with failure to launch syndrome.
There are two major defective parenting methods that are the leading cause of failure to launch syndrome. First, we have helicopter parenting which is when we as parents hover over our children, especially in educational, social and occupational life scenarios to attempt to push the child in a direction that we as parents think is best. This is extremely detrimental and the child’s progression in life when it comes to forming their own healthy personality and confidence. The other detrimental form of parenting is snowplow parenting. This form of parenting is when we as parents remove every possible roadblock or hurdle in life for our children as if we were a snow plow going down a snow filled road, removing any obstacle in our way. This is obviously detrimental to our children because they never develop the skill of overcoming life’s negative obstacles.
Second, a young adult has a lack of purpose in life and has no passion or marketable skills. They want to save the world and make a ton of money but want to start their day at noon and spend it on facebook taking selfies. They have no concept of real hard work and think they can simply be Kim Kardashian and make money on youtube.
Third, the lack of social consequences. Mom and dad bail out their adult child, especially all legal issues and make them simply disappear. There is really no consequence, if the child can’t pay rent, mom and dad cover it. If the child wants a car mom and dad buy it.
Fourth, the school has never cut them so they do not know what it is like to be cut from the team or felt a letdown. They graduate school and literally apply to one job and expect to get it and make six figures out of high school. when they don’t get the job they are devastated. They have no idea what loss is.
I will use my own personal experience here but explaining this. My father and I had an extraordinarily good relationship as I was growing up as a child and playing sports and thriving and sports. When I turned 16, I decided to forgo a college scholarship in baseball to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a touring rock ‘n’ roll drummer. My father turned his back on me and wanted nothing to do with me because he feared I was throwing my life down the toilet. This breach in our relationship contributed to me “shutting down” and becoming extremely “nonproductive” in life! So as you can see there are many different causes when it comes to the causes of failure to launch syndrome and we have to be very careful in the parenting of our youth as well as our relationships with our parents and children.

The Five Ways I Helped My Failure To Launch Child

failure to launch

So earlier this week we established what “Failure To Launch” syndrome is. We also established how our parenting styles can contribute to our child’s success or failure, specifically with ‘Failure To Launch”. So now it would only be natural to talk about how we can help our adult children suffering from “Failure To Launch”.
In my case, my lack of parenting greatly contributed to my son’s “Failure to Launch” so I needed to do whatever I could to help pull him out of his rut. Now, what was extremely important was that I did not helicopter parent or snowplow parent my child. I desperately needed to help him but do this in a way where he does the work with me. This way he builds healthy confidence along the way. So here are the top five things I did to help my young adult child suffering from Failure To Launch” syndrome.
1) First off, true to form in a young adult child suffering from “Failure To Launch” syndrome, my young adult child had isolated himself on the other side of the United States and stopped responding to calls, texts or emails. So I needed to get him out of his “isolation cell”, his house, and move him closer to me. This will allow me to start helping him structure a healthy lifestyle. So this is exactly what I did. I moved my son into our RV.
2) Next, I needed to make sure he was working to pay his own way in life. Also true to form in a young adult suffering from “Failure to Launch”, my son had completely stopped working. He had not sent us his bill money in almost a year and something had to be done. Now that he was living near me I could offer him a job with me and a chance to learn a trade that could set him up for a successful future. Being a residential electrician, I was able to put my son to work with me. This is very important because by paying his own way he is quickly gaining confidence in life.
3) Two and three kind of go hand in hand. So next, I was able to teach my son a trade that pays well and has steady work at all times. I am in the process of teaching my son the electrical trade. I truly feel like teaching my son the electrical trade will help set him up for a very successful future.
4) It was very important for me to help my son structure fun activities for us to do together. My son loves to work out in the gym and so do I so #4 was a no-brainer. I would get up 2 hours early to make sure we had time every morning before work to hit the gym. Not only did this activity give us valuable time together, but it is quickly making us both extremely healthy.
5) Last, but not least, I am simply making time for my son and hanging out with him any chance we have to hang out together. After getting my son here, helping put him to work and spending quality time with him made me realize how lonely he must have been while isolating himself. It must have been miserable waking up every day “locked” in your own misery. So making time for my son and spending quality time with him was an easy choice, and I have seen VAST improvements in him since we have been hanging out more.

So as you can see, we as parents can make a huge difference in helping pull our young adult children out of their “Failure to Launch” mindset. It takes a lot of work on both parties part but if both parties stay committed and disciplined you will be amazed at the results! Dr. Cali Estes, founder and creator of The Addictions Academy and The Addictions Coach, has now created http://www.fixfailure2launch.com to focus strictly on those suffering from “Failure to Launch” syndrome.  Call  1-800-706-0318 to get information on how to help you or a loved one suffering from “Failure to Launch” syndrome today!

Top 5 Ways That Exercise Helps Fight Failure to Launch Syndrome

/in /by

 

exercise

In everyday life a healthy body is a happy body. We have pro athletes who compete for the healthiest body. We have “gym rats” who work hard in the gym on a daily basis to have a healthy body. We even have pro athletes who have to keep a healthy body to keep their jobs. Well, there is another group of individuals who need to make keeping a “healthy body” a priority and that is those of us suffering from Failure to Launch syndrome.
Exercise is extremely important for us both physically and emotionally. Physical exercise releases chemicals called endorphins. These endorphins interact with the receptors in your brain that reduce your perception of pain. These endorphins also trigger a positive feeling in the body similar to morphine. For example, the feeling following a good run or intense workout is often described as euphoric. Most runners claim they get “runner’s high” after a run. So as you can see, regular exercise can do wonders for someone suffering from Failure to Launch.
Here are five ways that regular exercise helps fight Failure to Launch.
Regular exercise reduces stress. Trying to pull yourself out of Failure to Launch is going to be a high stress experience for anyone. Adding a regular workout plan to your every day plan will definitely help reduce your stress level.
Regular exercise will fight off anxiety and feelings of depression. When we are coming out of our “funk” caused by Failure to Launch we will have high levels of anxiety because we are turning over a new leaf in life we the future appears to be uncertain. We will also be “up and down” emotionally and may run into periods of depression that we need to understand are only temporary. A good exercise program will help us curve the depression and anxiety by releasing those “feel good” endorphins.
Regular exercise will improve sleep. After a good workout our bodies will go into recovery mode. This is where the body slows down and we become tired in a healthy manner. This will allow us to sleep through those otherwise restless nights.
 Regular exercise will definitely increase your energy level. A lot of times with Failure to Launch and depression comes a lack of energy. During your fight with Failure to Launch you are going to need all the energy your body can create. A regular exercise program will increase your natural energy level by increasing your body’s metabolism as well as other ways.
Regular exercise will increase your self esteem. Let’s face it, we all want to look good. We all want to have a nice body that is appealing to others. We have spent so much time during our Failure to Launch syndrome feeling bad about ourselves. This is the perfect way to boost your self esteem and show the world that you do care about your health, both emotionally and physically.

5 Ways To Pull Yourself Out Of Failure To Launch

/in /by

 

failure to launch

Failure to Launch syndrome can be extremely frustrating to the one suffering from the disorder and it can be just as frustrating for the surrounding loved ones. Being “stuck” in life can cause a wide range of problems and negative emotions that may seem impossible to overcome.
Well, I am here to tell you, from experience, that failure to launch syndrome can be maintained, regulated and corrected through dedication, hard work and a willingness to be helped. Now, I want to take a few minutes and show you how I was able to reach out and help my son who was suffering from failure to launch. My adult son had spent seven years isolated in the Rocky Mountains. He spoke to no family members, didn’t work and the only way we knew he was alive would be when his power would be cut or he would be completely out of food and he would call for help. And obviously I would help. This cycle went on for seven years until my wife and I decided we could not keep enabling our son. This was a decision that kicked off a chain reaction that seemed to “bring our son back from the dead”. So here are the top five ways to pull yourself out of Failure to Launch.
1) Make that call to a loved one for help. No matter how bad things seem. No matter how far out of control your life feels, you MUST ask for help. I know it is uncomfortable to ask a loved one for help but pulling yourself out of Failure to Launch is NOT something you need to try to do on your own. Pick up that phone and make that call and I promise you that it will be the best decision that you have ever made.
2) Start interacting with family and friends on a regular basis. After spending so much time isolated by yourself it will be extremely healthy to begin socially interacting with family and friends. Feeling loved from our family and friends is extremely important to our psychological well being. I don’t care what anyone tells you, being alone isn’t any fun and it’s not healthy for anyone suffering from Failure to Launch to be isolating themselves.
3) Get a job, any job, and start contributing. Most of us stuck in the grip of Failure to Launch haven’t worked in a long time. We have let others pay our way through life for years so the sooner we can get a job and start paying our own way through life or contribute to our household the sooner we will start feeling better about ourselves. Being financially stable is one of the quickest ways to gain self- confidence AND gain the confidence of our loved ones. Becoming financially stable is one of the most important things you can do when getting help for your Failure to Launch syndrome.
4) Make amends to your loved ones and tell them that you love them. During our darkest times in our battle against Failure to Launch most of us were completely isolated and I am sure there were times where our family did not know if we were alive or dead. And during that same time period, I’m sure our family members were paying our bills and putting food on our table. So saying “I’m Sorry” would go a LONG WAY.  Hearing that from you will make all the difference in the world.
5) Believe in yourself. If you have done numbers 1 through 4, then you are well on your way to pulling yourself out of Failure to Launch. Great job my friend! Now you need to BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and continue the journey and leave Failure to Launch syndrome far behind in the dust!
