The reason this really stuck out I paid a visit during a week day where both had drinks in hand in the afternoon. The adult child had/has a night job so that could mean they are drinking in their morning so to speak. The parent in the past has gotten miffed when you turned down a mid day drink, they seem to forget next time you see them but there seemed to be more anger and resentment this time.
I think the recommended limited brief contact for now is best.
Thanks
