[quote=Anonymous]I would also add: when do you expect these visits to end? Like at what age will you feel like he needs to stop coming to you? I wonder if you might want to examine what your expectations are, and adjust to this new normal of having an adult child. Yes, you want to stay close, but does that mean he needs to come to you? Meet in the middle, offer to pay his ticket, and hang out in neutral territory. Some kids don't want to go back to a house where they were kids, because they have moved on from that age and life. Meeting in the middle allows space for an adult friendship that doesn't make him feel like he's a kid again.[/quote]
