    Parents don’t stop being parents when their child turns 18.

    Speaking as someone who does not have a child and is not a legal guardian of one, yes they absolutely can, their obligation has ended once their child has become an adult.

    I won’t go deep into specifics, but my mother and father have cut all communication with my brother, do I judge or resent their decision? Absolutely not, hell I agreed with their reasoning.

    it also raises the question of where parental support and involvement were during the son’s struggles.

    Well, if at some point in your life you raise a child to be a 30+ year old adult let me know how they react when they see you checking their browser history and rummaging through their journal.
