Parenting and support goes way beyond 18

[Needwine999]

Everyone always talks about age 18 as if that's the age all parenting and financial help / emotional help stops but its not , is it? Seems we all 'parent' for a much longer time now in one way or another? Maybe to 25 or late 20's? I have friends whos 'children' just moved out at 28, or 29 , 25 if you are lucky.

I know its different to a young child but its still, well parenting to a point , it does not stop at 18 , not these days?

My friend is 55 and her and her sisters were all told to leave at 16 and sort themselves out for example......someone i know also says once they are 18 they need to find their own place to stay , this person is not a friend btw
