I think it is a normal process for animals (including human beings) to be separated from the parents at a certain age. (The problem is that it doesn’t occur normally these days in many of the families here.)
We have the following words:
OYABANARE: children’s becoming independent of their parents (separation from parents)
KOBANARE: parents’ making their children become independent (separation from children)
I wonder if there are any such terms in English.
‘deparent’ or ‘dechild’?
Thank you.
