The transition to adulthood reconfigures what it means to be attached to the people who raised you, especially when you’re no longer living under their roof. Some have experienced the joy of parents who are supportive of their decisions: whether it is choosing a different career path, disclosing their sexuality, prescribing to another religious belief or choosing not to have children.
