Not the GP, but I imagine the more charitable interpretation is that s&#x2F;he is referring to a level of psychological&#x2F;emotional development, not to a specific fiscal arrangement. One can be an adult and as an adult arrange one&#x27;s affairs in a way that increases one&#x27;s dependence on someone else, but if one makes that decision from a studied, mature evaluation of the circumstances, knowing and accepting the risks thereof, it&#x27;s not the same thing as making it as a child, or making it unknowingly.
