Watching a child leave the nest can be difficult for parents to handle

No matter how old you are, your parents will always see you as their baby. Even if you’re married, in medical school or have kids of your own, it’s only natural for parents to want to take care of their children. But there comes a time in most of our lives when we have to leave the nest, and it’s a lot easier to do so when you have the support of Mom and Dad.

According to Urban Institute, the average age for young Americans to move out of their parents’ house during the 2010s was 26. Today, however, more adults are delaying the move to live independently due to high costs of living and low salaries.

But regardless of when someone decides it’s time to fly the coop, parents should be proud that they’ve raised an adult who feels confident going off on their own. After all, having your children live with you forever might become exhausting, and it can really limit your freedom.

When dealing with empty nest syndrome, Dr. Rachel Glik recommends that parents focus on the positives. This can be an extremely emotional time, but it’s also an opportunity to rediscover yourself. So don’t be scared to take up new hobbies, travel or make an effort to make new friends.

You might also be able to build a better relationship with your children when you don’t see them every day. Plus, you’ve now eliminated the conflicts that arise from living together, so your relationship might be even healthier and happier. Meanwhile, you can focus on your marriage and get back to what it was like when it was just the two of you, before having kids.

Clearly, the mother in this story had no idea how to deal with her son moving out and building his own life, so she decided to sabotage him. There was also some discussion in the comments about whether or not the mother had taken out a life insurance policy for her son, which might give her motive to poison him.

Cyanide poisoning is extremely dangerous

But Money.com notes that if you want to take out a life insurance policy on another adult, you must have their consent. So unless the mother created this policy about a decade ago or the author agreed to it and simply forgot, it’s not likely that it exists. Unfortunately, it’s possible that the mother in this story simply tried to poison her son to punish him for moving out. 

Medical News Today reports that cyanide poisoning is very dangerous, as it can cause vomiting, dizziness, headache, rapid heart rate, confusion, seizures, cardiac arrest, loss of consciousness, hypotension, lung injuries and respiratory failure. In extreme cases, it can even be fatal. 

As far as what can cause cyanide poisoning, common sources include fire smoke from residential fires, as well as the burning of wool, silk, rubber, resins or polyurethane. Some people are also exposed to cyanide at work, if they work in gold and silver extraction, plastics and rubber processing, metallurgy, photography, tanning or fumigation.

Cyanide is even found naturally in certain foods, such as cassava root, almonds, apples, flax and lima beans. But the quantities are low enough that we don’t have to worry when consuming them. 

Sadly, the author noted that this experience has led to him decide that he won’t be speaking to his family again. But it’s better to lose them than to lose his life.
