Creepy.
Go sleep in your own bed in your own house, adult kid.

Just WOW. By the time I was twenty, my mother was dead-and-gone and my dad was off in the mountains escaping. Others had far worse situations than that. I did just fine. Had no choice ...

Our Nanny society really does cripple these poor little things, doesn’t it?

The author appears to be dot-Indian. Culturally I think this behavior is not unusual for Indians. In many cultures families sleep together.

In the author’s defense, he/she appears (from the name) to be Hindu. In India, it is far more common for families to share a common bed (space constraints, if nothing else), and for kids to continue to sleep alongside parents to a far older age than here in the US.

I can relate to the realty of losing ones parents and that emotion, but not the action that manifested. Being grateful, loving your parents & spending time with them is one thing. Sleeping with them as a young adult is emotionally immature & unhealthy.

Reveals that the parents failed to raise their child to become an emotional adult. Leaving behind a weak dependent & vulnerable individual who will not live a successful adult life.

Again, you have to factor in the culture. In India (and a number of other modern cultures, really), this kind of thing is far more common. For all that the US is (or was, anyway) a paragon of civilization, we do have some odd hangups.
