[quote=Anonymous]You might want to tell your Mother - - that this is the relationship you hope for. In order to have it the young adult has to be an equal: entirely self-supporting. Not dependent on parents for money or favors, or vacations or childcare. Equals. But probably never intimate friends. Not telling each other too much, not confiding too much because there is too much risk in that. Relationships, especially friendships ebb and flow and you can't risk a falling-out. But it's important to talk to each other with respect and care, and insist on it. It must go both ways. I always ask myself, "would I say that to a friend?" If they haven't asked for my opinion, I shouldn't give my opinion or advice unsolicited. [/quote]
