Dr Phil:
As a mom of a college kid I agree that there are some parents who aren't their kids best friends. But many parents are in fact willing and able to listen. In fact, many kids in college are rebounding from the angst of adolescence as are the parents. But assuming all parties are semi rational...sorry...going to people who have (presumably) known you all you life is a good and intelligent thing. You don't have to take advice (if any is asked for or given). But using an adult as a sounding board can be a very good and mature thing to do.
