The combination of not giving kids independence then complaining how teens and young adults are dependant on their parents is diabolical.
I often look at the independence that kids and teens are given in other countries and wish that I could have been given that sort of a childhood. I seriously think I wouldn't be as socially inept as I am today if I had that.
There are plenty of parents that just kick out their kids and drop all support the day they turn 18. It is truly horrific how cruel they are.
