Adolescence

I talked a lot with my cousin during the holidays, and one of the things she said, that struck me, is:

« It is very difficult to leave loved ones. However, after adolescence, comes the time to leave. Therefore it is normal that the teenager enters a phase in which he drifts away, he learns to « less love » his parents. It’s not personal, it’s self-preservation. It is this approach that will enable him to take off. »

Hard to hear? Maybe… But maybe not untrue…
