Letting go of your adult children is one of the hardest things that you will ever have to do. After all, you don’t stop being a parent just because your kids turn 18.

At the same time, there is no denying the fact that many of us have complicated relationships with our adult kids. Some of us are still supporting our kids, financially. Others may have even been prevented from seeing our grandkids because of conflicts with their parents.
