As the many interviews attest, parental influence extends far beyond adolescence and can be the source of continuing pain and conflict. Some adults remain tied to their parents by the need to win approval and acceptance; equally, parents can continue to depend on their children to provide a meaning and purpose for their lives. Thus, for many people, "letting go" is a continuing challenge throughout their adult years. The study explores different patterns in the parent-child relationship, allowing the interviewees to speak for themselves, and then asks how they are affected by gender, social and geographical mobility, or by life-stage changes Parent and adult child; Adult children David de Vaus Trung tâm Học liệu Trường Đại học Trà Vinh
