I'm close to my family, but not dependent. According to my mother, I've been pretty independent since I first learned I could hold the bottle myself. 
When I lived overseas, I talked to my mom & my grandma pretty often. Mom would flip out if I didn't show up online for a few days in a row, which was kind of annoying... I've always said she worries too much (but then, she says I don't worry enough, so...) After I moved back to Ohio, I'd talk to Mom every few days, but would only see her once every two weeks or so (I think. I don't really remember, to be honest.)
I'll go months without talking to my dad, though. *shrug*
