Hi Victoria, as a parent of adults children, your story deeply resonate with me as I experienced a sense of entitlement in my kids and noticed it at later stages. I am glad you gained awareness and take corrective actions. Your approach sounds reasonable to me. Setting psychological boundaries and communicating them clearly is a proven success factor in relationships. Thank you for writing this authentic and meaningful story which might spark inspiration in other parents grappling with similar issues. I wish you and Allie best in your journey.
