[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you keep asking this question? What answer are you looking for?[/quote]

There was a long period of my life where I still needed financial support from my parents when most people my age didn't(through no fault of my own). I've finally managed to become self-supporting, but it now it seems as if most of my peers have moved on from supporting themselves to supporting themselves and their parents. I really feel I deserve a grace-period where I'm on the same level as my peers, even if it's just temporary. I'd like to have at-least till my mid-thirties. But now it seems as though I'm always going to be one step behind my peers.

The thing that makes you seem "behind your peers" is your anxiety and immaturity. When people support their parents, it's because their parents need the money. Not out of some misperception that it's what everyone does in their thirties. Not out of a desire to feel good about yourself. It's about the *other people*, not *you*. See what I mean?
