[quote=Anonymous]That is what you have been doing as a parent for the past 17 or 18 years - preparing them to launch and be independent, functional adults. Over the years they should have learned all the skills they need and taken on all the responsibilities of being an adult with you there to support them. You have to trust that the 17 years of teaching, leading, guiding, directing, redirecting, mentoring, responding, reinforcing, disciplining, and encouraging you have done has served its purpose - to let your young adult step out into adulthood and to manage the expectations and responsibilities of adulthood. Assuming they have taken on more and more responsibility over the years and been given more and more independence, they should by now be more than ready to step out on their own. Obviously some kids have intellectual, developmental, physical or mental health needs that have slowed their progress through the years and they will need extra support. [/quote]
