I am talking about parents. For ALL Parents, none are excluded, their children will be always their little boy or girl. We WILL ALWAYS BE!!!
For me, it is important to let them feel that way, but at the same time, I need to prove that I can be independent. Not to show that I don't need them anymore, BUT to let them know that they have brought me up VERY WELL, and my turn to take care of them instead. Anyway, I will still need them, FOREVER, if I were allowed!
Every family is different, but I think all depend on COMMUNICATION.
Hope someone can resolve his problem soon.
