Friends and family

What happens between the time you are a college student and a married independant adult? There has to be some kind of middle ground where the parents are able to let go and the child learns how to handle relationships on his or her own...

I feel frusterated when my parents ask after my grades or if I have been eating at the right times. I love both of them very much but I feel quite childish if they ask after these things. I wonder if my perception is just colored by my own adversion to being treated like a child.

Obviously, there is some type of emotional response that both parents and children have to work through as they move out of the house, go to college or get married. A sense of loss, dispair, frusteration, lonliness and general unsettledness might decend upon a persons sub-conscious.

When is it easy to have a transition? Or are emotional transitions part of everyday life?
