Good time! Today I am sharing a client case that tends to repeat itself over and over again. The story was taken with the client’s permission, so we are happy to dissect it with you. I mean the story, not the client :))) What should we call her? Let it be Serafima. Serafima, 26 years old, not married, no children, lives with her parents, has a boyfriend Ignat. Yes, yes, I have a love for unusual names :)) If you look at Seraphima’s life, then everything is normal for her: she has an education, a job, a beloved man. But as we all know, people come to a psychologist for a reason. Seraphima came with the goal of moving away from her parents as quickly as possible. More precisely, the move itself would not be difficult for her, because she and Ignat decided to start living together, which means that the combined income of their lovers would allow them to rent housing not far from the city center. The most difficult thing for Seraphima was to tell her parents, or rather her mother, about this. It was always difficult for Seraphim’s mother to let her daughter go anywhere. It doesn’t matter, a walk with classmates and girlfriends, or a movie with a guy. When my daughter started going to work, it was even hard to let her go there, literally with tears in her eyes. As we see the mother’s life is entirely focused on her daughter, we will not analyze the mother and her relationship with her husband here. We will only briefly note that Seraphima’s parents, as such, do not have a personal life. They don’t go to the cinema or theater together, often don’t even sleep in the same bed with each other, as the client says: “Father sleeps with the TV, and mother with a book. But they seem to be happy. It seems that they are so comfortable. Maybe this is how life should be? Probably, after 20 years of living together, you no longer want to discuss anything, because everything has already been discussed? What if this is true love?” Seraphima’s request was that I help her formulate it for her mother. words about moving. At the same time, so that the mother does not get offended, does not cry, and completely calmly, and, preferably, even happily, lets her daughter fly off to meet an independent life. Is this realistic, what do you think? If so, what words would be suitable for mom from Seraphim? What would you recommend, dear Readers? I suggest we discuss this case together, and later I will tell you what happened to the client and how her life unfolded during the consultation process. I would be grateful for your like, because this way you help the maximum number of people see the article. Your family psychologist , Khasanova Eliza
