Regarding the conflicting views on age, your 18 year old is legally an adult yes and whilst it is important that they learn independence for adult life they are still only just adults and just starting out in life. College has become less of a choice and very expensive, also those who don't go down that route can barely afford to get their own place with whatever job they get. Supporting your 18-year-old is not the same as your 40-year-old deciding they want to do a PHd and expect you to pay the bill. As a lot have pointed out, a lot of parents can't take a bill that big but helping how you can? I couldn't watch mine struggle like that and help if I was able.
