QUOTE : Your concern about your prolonged financial dependency reminded me of my anthropology classes, where I learnt that the more advanced a species, the longer its period of childhood and adolescence. And I think that our family species is pretty advanced in every sense of the word. I was also a dependent until the age of twenty-six, but, to be honest with you, this never worried me. You can be certain that as long as you continue to study and work as you do, for us your dependence will not be a burden but rather an agreeable duty that we undertake with much pleasure and pride.
