The effect of heli parenting is the same as when you have a boss that is an idiot and you hate him because you realize he is incomptent but he doesn't see it: you intuitively realize that something is very wrong but you may have credit so you are locked into the job. With a kid it's much worse: you can quit from a job even if you have credit (risky), but as a kid you can NEVER "quit" from your parents: it's being stuck in a perpetual situation with a shitty boss who gives you no freedom and micromanages you.
