You’re always a parent, but the relationship between parent and child must necessarily evolve as the child becomes an adult.
The one who must make the greater adjustment is the parent.
Of necessity, the child must be granted more freedom when making choices.
Of course, the parent won’t always agree with the decision the adult-child makes.
Even if the decision is not a good one, sometimes young adults must have enough freedom to learn and grow from their mistakes.
Every parent wants their children to be happy and content with their life.
If the parent questions the adult-child’s lifestyle, the parent must be supportive even if the lifestyle is not one the parent would choose.
Above all, the parent must be approachable so that fears or concerns can be communicated freely between both parties.
Remember, you’re always a parent.
