[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you can see this as a 'growing pain' phase of your relationship with them. Kids need to rebel and resent their parents so they can 'detach' and find their independent identity. Parents in response need to detach as well. Once you guys emerge from this rough patch you will reconnect and be able to marvel at the adults they've become and hopefully see them as such. If not, you will miss out on meeting the adults they become because you are unwilling to let go of them as your babies. It's natural to mourn the end of their childhood, but letting go is the healthiest for all involved. In summary: Cut them off. They will love you more for it in the long run. [/quote] I posted at 12:10 before reading the quoted post. Detach is a good word and that is what I have done- not a cut-off but an overall accounting. [/quote]
