"After all those years of people going their own ways, get ready for more contact…indeed, much more intimate contact. Society still expects that "family will show up" (so do health care systems when elders are in need). Elders soon learn that having people with them who know them when the going gets tough is of great value. Marshal these loyal forces and get re-acquainted. Observation has it that at no time since adolescence are parents and children so entangled."
