Your relationship with your parents will likely change as you reach adulthood. For example, your parents may start sharing new types of information with you, or they may keep secrets in an attempt to protect you. In order to deal with your parents keeping secrets, you should have an open and honest conversation with your parents about secrets. Talk about what type of information needs to be shared as they age. If you discover that your parents have been keeping a secret from you, try not to take it personally and come up with strategies to move on in your relationship.
