Will the child ever leave again?
It doesn’t feel kind to ask this question, but the reality is that of course both the parents and the kids hope the situation isn’t permanent. It’s likely not good for either party – at least not for an extended period of time. In fact, research has found that, when adults move back home, it can be difficult for the parents’ wellbeing. Keep in mind that, after handling the grief of kids fleeing the nest, parents then adapted. They developed new routines. They got over the sadness of having the child gone, and found joy in a new phase of life. Now…everything is moving backward.
