Essence: desperately trying to hold on to relationships.
Desperately trying to hold on to relationship
They are very afraid of losing someone, so they desperately try to hang on to the relationship. They feel that if they don’t do exactly what is required of them something will go wrong, either the other person will feel hurt or they will have an accident or anything like that. They are so afraid of making a mistake and keep such tight control over everything that the the whole situation becomes very forced.
Work and motherhood can’t go togetherThey might have problems when they have to combine motherhood with having a job. They want to do both as well as they can. This creates unease and restlessness, everything has to be done on time, they must hold on to the job, they run and fly all day to get it all done.
A controlling motherThey are very fastidious and precise, afraid that their child will get hurt if they don’t do everything strictly according to the rules. If they don’t stick to the feeding schedule suggested by the doctor, their child might not grow enough. They constantly check their children’s weight and the height, make sure they don’t choose the wrong friends, worry about accidents, in short they get into a sort of spasm about the whole issue of bringing up children.
A variation on this theme is that they themselves have this type of mother, often giving rise to stomach cramps in babies, because they pick up their mothers tension.
Ritual careOne way of making sure that things won’t go wrong is by establishing a sort of ritual. You can see this in nursing homes where everything from eating to washing and sleeping and exercising is planned by the minute.
Serious and complainingThey are very serious and responsible, at the same time feeling that they have to do it all on their own. Nobody gives them any care and attention, which makes them feel sorry for themselves and can result in complaining behaviour. They don’t like hearing others complain, particularly their children.
