- This study examined the experiences of parents who had a single (i.e., not married or in a common-law relationship) adult child in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) through focus groups and interviews. Parents discussed a variety of topics, including concerns about their child serving in the military, the parent-child relationship, and their experiences with military life. Overall, 3 themes emerged that highlighted parents’ varied emotions about their child joining the military as well as how they found support and adapted to military life.
