I didn't get along with my parents from the age of 15. The day after my 18th birthday, I moved out and didn't talk to them for 5 years. At 23, I stopped by and introduced them to their daughter in law (who was 6 months pregnant at the time). We get along fine now, though I don't talk to them that often.
It took some time apart for them to realize that I was an adult and that I could dictate the terms of our relationship. It took me some time to realize that I still wanted a relationship with my parents.
