When parent-adult child relationships become too careful and scripted

My mom and I used to laugh until we cried together and now our relationship feels like we're both performing being the good daughter and good mother and I can't remember the last time either of us said something that surprised the other. We love each other but we're so careful that we've become strangers.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The transition to adult relationship has created an artificial formality that protects against conflict but eliminates authentic intimacy.
