The relationship between parents and children is always evolving, and that evolution cannot end so nicely. This is a metamorphosis, like the one with have in insects. Have a look at this Lingohack episode:

ResponderEliminarThe relationship with our parents is not always the same for all people ... There are many different situations, and many types of families and relationships. Since each person is different, different types of relationships are established, whether due to their personalities, their attitudes, their ways of understanding things ...
ResponderEliminarIt is very common, for example in adolescence, that the relationship with our parents tends to worsen, either due to hormones, the environment in which they surround themselves, lack of maturity, friends, lack of empathy ... Adolescents tend to distance themselves from their parents and tend to establish bad relationships, either through discussions or distancing.
However, it is often thought that when we are younger we usually have very good relationships with our parents, because we usually spend almost all of our time with them and they are usually our best friends at this stage of our life. Also, it is often thought that when we are more mature, when we consider ourselves adults, we tend to appreciate relationships with our parents much more.
On the contrary, in my particular case, I have a very good relationship with my two mothers (my mother and my grandmother) and I have always appreciated the moments I spend with them. Obviously we have had discussions, but we have always known how to fix our differences. For me, my two mothers are the best thing that has happened to me in life and I will always continue to appreciate and pamper them as they deserve.

Britney is on the verge of depression due to the exploitation of her family, her sister had her life and they didn't hurt her.
ResponderEliminarHer self-esteem was very low because of a woman who has no right to manipulate her life and Britney provided her wicked father with so much money.
She spoke with fear when she was expressing herself because they have been in charge of turning off her voice and it's enough of that abuse of power.
People couldn't have lived the way Britney did and they would have committed suicide. I think she's going to rest the day her parents die.

The relationship between father and children must be based, first of all, on love and respect. It is essential to recognize children as people, and for this, it is important to attend to their needs, assign them responsibilities and rights at each stage of their life.

Britney’s father has controlled her life and her money for many years. She has been treated like a child and she has few rights. So everyone are using the phrase #FreeBritney to help her.
ResponderEliminarThe relationship with our parents is very important. For example my parents are very good with me and they help me when I need. Now, Britney wants to have the life that she had before.
I think Britney is able to do everything and her father doesn’t have to control her life completely. She has explained her story and she can’t do anything because her father doesn’t want.

The relationship between children and parents is very important, since they transmit affection and trust to us so that we have someone to count on throughout our lives.
ResponderEliminarSometimes there are parents who behave very badly with their children and other times the other way around, but it is important to have a good relationship with them. When a problem happens to us, we have to count on them before anyone else, because even if we fail them and make mistakes, they will forgive us.
There will always be a fight with them, but it is essential to know how to fix it. Many times they set very strict rules for us and don't let us do what we want, but if they are good parents they will do it because they care about us and they don't want anything to happen to us.
I have a very good relationship with my parents at the moment, but they have had to forgive me for many things that I did not know how to do well. I think I have learned a lot from my mistakes and they will realize little by little.
