Interesting topic. I have managed to get to the point of being friends with both of my adult children. My daughter had some mental health issues after she moved out the first time. We took her back without reservations, and after a pretty rough three years, she pulled herself together and now is married and a homeowner. I never, ever regretted taking her back in. My son is having trouble getting along in the world, but he is out on his own, living with roomates in a third floor apartment. I do worry about him, but I think he'll get it figured out soon.
