The perma parent trap

Article Abstract:

Permaparents are the ones who welcome their adult children into their homes and support them financially and emotionally, but it is believed that such parents obstruct their children's adult independence and hamper their postparenting lives. Many psychologists believe that the postparenting period is one in which people have the opportunity to develop new identities to relocate, change a career, and become more involved in the community.
