Let's look at it this way: other than the odd life skill that parents can pass down, what else is there? (especially if you're established in your mid to late 20s?) Emotional support can easily come from close friends who understand the complexities of interpersonal relationships in today's world. Just cut the umbilical cord and be prepared to live with that decision.

No. Although friends are great, they will never replace the support of a parent. You can always count on your parents when you need them. Friends, not so much, even if there are some really kind people. You might think your BFF will always be there to protect you, but reality sets in a really ugly picture.
