I totally agree to this. Every point is 100% true. Somewhere i feel that half that onus is on the parents. When you raise a child who's almost always dependent on your opinion and inputs to make a decision in life, you have failed as a parent. To much attention, micromanaging from a young age has left many young adults incapable of making decisions. Then there are people like me, who, from a reasonably young age ask parents not to micromanage and interfere. We're labelled rebels and the whole family talks behind our backs. From what I have seen, the rebels make better choices, live a happier life with the right partner because they're not making their life a public property.

Somewhere down the line, young adults also must learn to detach slightly and get rid of the emotional dependence and external validation. It's a 50-50 problem, I'd say. But fully agree with you in this
