[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are still their parent. But they are adults. It isn’t respectful acquaintance. It should be loving support of a fellow adult. Think of how you treat the other adults in your life that you love, like siblings, your parents, aunts and uncles, close friends. [/quote] This. AND our relationship evolved as they matured. I was very cognizant and intentional about this because my older Boomer parents only started respecting my boundaries, decisions, and started treating me like an adult when I was early 40s. By this time I had a very high paying respectable job, husband 2 kids, $2M first home, vacation home, etc, etc. I depended on them for nothing along the way, so I didn't understand their behavior at all.[/quote]
