Love Without Rescue examines one of the hardest family dilemmas grandparents can face: how to remain loving and supportive toward an adult grandchild without becoming financially, emotionally, or practically responsible for choices that are no longer theirs to make.

Dr. Mozelle Martin explores the difference between helping and rescuing, compassion and overfunctioning, support and enabling. The book looks at how guilt, fear, family history, crisis, and repeated requests for help can gradually blur healthy boundaries, especially when a grandparent feels responsible for protecting someone they deeply love.

Rather than advocating withdrawal or punishment, Love Without Rescue focuses on maintaining connection while setting limits that protect both people. It addresses the emotional difficulty of saying no, the pressure to solve recurring problems, and the importance of allowing an adult grandchild to experience responsibility, consequence, and independence.

For grandparents navigating complicated relationships with adult grandchildren, this book offers a practical framework for loving someone without becoming consumed by their instability, decisions, or crises.
