Sort of seems like treating your own experiences as universal to me. I think the "article" assumes too much.
The OP's parents might be complete pricks for all any of us know. "They did their best" (and other such comments) is true for some, not for others.
I think "you're an adult and you can do whatever you want" is entirely sufficient.
