Adult Child

An Adult child is a grown up that hasn't developed emotionally on an adult level. Adult child may be due to environmental circumstances, if they had drug addicts/alcoholic addicts as parents they'd lack proper emotional maturity. They missed elements from childhood development because the people who would teach them through example were busy acting a fool.Sometimes it's due to mental health illnesses and needs treatment through therapy. Adult Children might get mad and throw temper tantrum as a grown woman or grown man. Adult children do not know how to handle complex situations usually dealing with healthy romantic relationships and setting boundaries. Adult children are usually in a 24 step program, they need 12 more steps to get past the alcoholic. Adult children usually have abandonment issues, low self esteem, codependency issues, trust issues, people pleasing behaviors or might be at high risk for addiction. Sometimes adult children will become workaholics to avoid chaos from outside environment and will never take any time off. Sometimes adult children will live in their parents basements until the parents are dead. Adult children tend to have a more child like way of looking at life. Adult children are still adults and will go to adult prison if they start a fight at the DMV, meaning they are still accountable as adults. Sometimes adult children need someone to validate their decisions before they take action.

Adult Alternative

Form of soft rock that has more structure to it and is more catchy than regular soft rock. Usually has a much more "mature" sound than normal rock. Bands are usually played more on VH1 than MTV.

The musicians in these bands usually are in their 30s, dress quite modestly, and are generally some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. They just seem like people you'd run into at a grocery store.
Coldplay, Sting, Maroon 5, and bands similar to them.
