Separation from parents is a natural process that ideally occurs gradually and in stages as the child grows up. This is the period when the child begins to separate from parental care and form his own independence. However, this process does not always go smoothly, and some people may find it difficult to separate from their parents even as adults. Today we will look at the signs of failed separation and the impact it has on a person's life. Severe emotional dependence on parents. If a person cannot make independent decisions without the advice or support of parents, this may be a sign of failed separation. He may experience fear of taking on responsibility or a sense of loss without parental support. Lack of self-confidence and independence. People who have not undergone full separation may have doubts about their abilities and not believe in themselves. They may rely on other people, including parents, to make decisions or complete tasks. Difficulties in relationships. Failed separation can lead to problems in interpersonal relationships. A person may have difficulty establishing close relationships or be overly dependent on a partner. He may also experience fear of losing his parents or being rejected. Unresolved conflicts with parents. The ability to let go of negative emotions and resolve conflicts with parents is an important part of separation. If these conflicts remain unresolved, they can continue to affect the person and his relationships with other people. Feelings of guilt and responsibility towards parents. Non-separation people may feel obligated to care for their parents or feel guilty if they make decisions that do not meet their parents' expectations. This can lead to restrictions on one's own freedom and happiness. Lack of a clear life purpose or direction. The lack of separation entails difficulties in defining one's personal goals and aspirations. Such people may seek approval and direction from their parents, rather than looking within themselves for sources of motivation and happiness. Untimely separation (or lack thereof) has a negative impact on our lives and relationships with other people. It does not give a person the opportunity to become independent, self-sufficient and independent. To overcome this problem, it is important to become aware of your emotions and behavior, and also to actively work on developing your autonomy and independence. Contacting a psychologist in this situation is very preferable, since we are connected with our parents by the strongest family ties, as well as many attitudes and obligations , which are very difficult to understand and work through.
