[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids change a lot during 4 years of college and parents do feel cut off or distanced. However, transformation into adulthood requires growth, change and independence. All of this could be a phase too, once in professional life, things will reset. Meanwhile, be supportive and engaged without being intrusive so he knows he can ask for your advice without a fear of judgement. He is your kid but now he is a man with a significant other and soon a working man. He deserves privacy and autonomy. AND stop calling his fiancee girlfriend, that's dismissive and could bite you down the road. [/quote] I appreciate your feedback. I am not calling my son's fiancee his girlfriend. He is not engaged or has expressed any intention to marry her yet. He calls her his girlfriend and not his fiancee. I know the difference and would never be dismissive if he intended it to be that way. [/quote]
