Parents are important and one of the closest people in our lives. However, the moment comes when you need to separate from them and live your life. It is important to separate not so much geographically as emotionally.
Unfortunately, nowadays more and more young people rely on their parents and not on themselves. They hope that mom and dad will lead them through life to the end, ensuring stability and security. But this cannot last forever. There comes a time when a person needs to determine for himself how he will act and live on. At this stage, many simply cannot stand it and break down, because it is difficult for them to realize that no one else, but they themselves are responsible for their own lives. The sooner the "big child" realizes that childhood is over, the better.
The main signs of psychological dependence on parents include:
- a strong sense of guilt for any offense to the mother or father, - striving to be good all the time, - lack of understanding that parents also have the right to make mistakes,
- unquestioning obedience.
The process of separation from parents does not take place overnight. A person needs the realization that he is a separate person who independently determines his life and destiny. The main ways to overcome addiction include the following:
- Realize that the opinion of a father or mother cannot be the ultimate truth;
- do not be afraid to say what you do not like;
- freely express your opinion and judgment about anything;
- separate from them geographically;
- limit their participation in your life.
The process of separating from the people who gave birth to you is painful, however, the result will be a feeling of freedom and independence.
