We were fortunate. My youngest left for trades college and never returned. Oh, he visits often but had always been self sufficient. The oldest was a bit put off when I said, you have one calendar year from your last day of university to move out and make your way in life. Even at 44 he still lives a precarious life even though he has a solid trade in the chef business.
I was adulting at 16, but did not parent until I was 40. Wife had two sons. I did better at adulting in the first two years than I did parenting in the first two years. parenting has a very steep learning curve.
