A descriptive study of some manifestations of family crises caused by the independence of children was conducted. Information was collected by surveys applied to 40 family groups from 2 family physician's offices in our health area that fulfilled the requisites of having young adult children over 20 (to guarantee the end of adolescence), who were not under their parents' control. This survey explores the believes and feelings of these parents, the way they reorganize their lives, the non-transitory family crises hampering this period, the network of social support they use and the affective links existing among them at this stage of family development

Keywords : FAMILY; LIFE STYLE; PARENT-CHILD RELATIONS.
