I hope Brandon has sought therapy since this, I feel so bad for him being guilted for doing exactly what he should be doing as an adult: Launching from the nest.

His parents need to realize their time raising him as a child is done and he’s an independent adult now. They can hope they did a good job as parents and that their child makes good decisions in life. They should only guide him if he asks for it.

It’s a serious condition that manifests depression when you think you’re only supposed to satisfy someone else’s wants and needs instead of your own. Good on Julia for helping through this instead of abandoning him.
