I am developing a better sense of what NOT to do, but still don't really know what TO DO, esp since my child is now in college. Don't know how any relationship can stay strong through this with an older kid, even if OK on the surface. If you don't support it, you are the enemy.

Did YOU receive your parents' advice well as a young person? But did you ever think about it later, as an adult, & realize how meaningful & often accurate it actually was? Kids NEED their parents to express their views, to be a rock in the storm; we aren't irrelevant bystanders.

I asked questions & shared info with my daughter too (in the beginning more so than the end). I learned to not constantly discuss this topic, became skilled at biting my tongue. Tried to navigate carefully so that we maintained a good relationship.
