This is a review article written after watching the broadcast.
A daughter appeared who is worried that her reclusive mother never leaves the house.
In episode 6 of tvN STORY "Lee Ho-seon counseling center," which aired on the 10th, the reality of the "power struggle" within the family was illuminated.
The daughter, who said she cares for a mother suffering from depression and panic disorder, said, "I wish my mother could live like an ordinary person. There was a time I lived apart for a short while. I kept calling her. I worried that I had left her alone."
The daughter said, "The rest of the family is often away from home. The mother is left alone all the time. When I call, I check the mother with a home camera in case she is sleeping and then call."
Hearing this, Lee Ho-seon asked, "You check with a home camera because she might be sleeping? Do you check because you think she might be dead?" The daughter said, "I have had that anxiety since I was young. I even once burst into tears while eating, saying, 'Mom, don't die,'" and her eyes reddened.
The daughter appeared unable to live her own life, constantly anxious from worrying about her mother. Lee Ho-seon firmly said, "The daughter's life is wallpapered with her mother. The mother at least understands her own emotions. This is a typical parentification. The child cares for the parent like a parent. It is a form of arrested psychological development. The daughter will live her whole life as her mother's mother."
Lee Ho-seon said to the daughter, "The daughter's score came out much higher than the mother's anxiety. The daughter can't do anything. Her stimulation-seeking is 1 point. This suppresses desire. Anxiety is high and desire is absent. It's impossible to tell who is more ill. She is giving away her whole life. This is called codependency. It's a very dangerous state. You can't live like this."
Lee Ho-seon said, "The mother is exerting another form of violence on the daughter. She must not pretend to be dying. Stopping medication recklessly could be a big problem. Life will be ruined. I hope each of you gains freedom."
Lee Ho-seon said, "The daughter must leave no matter what. The daughter might die before the mother does. Even if the mother is sick, she should go to work. Daughter, start living now. Don't worry about your mother; think about your future. Think of it as having fulfilled a lifetime of filial duty."
