What the parent is describing is not a "close" relationship, it's probably more binding.
To pull out weird analogies, a mother and a fetus share the same system, they're different people but work as a single unit and need to survive together. I think some marriages are in that level of symbiotic relationship, and when it works it's incredible, when it fails it's really really messy.
But it's pretty hard to explain to people that you're seeing the other person as an extension of yourself and think of their well being literally as your own.
- mydriasis 3y agoYou're correct, here. We're so close as to be one, which is wild. We are actual extensions of one-another, infinitely on the same page. It's really good stuff.
- nathan_compton 3y agoThe mother does not depend on the fetus for survival.
- mydriasis 3y agoPerhaps not, but to answer Cher's question in the negative, I don't really believe in life after love. It really does feel like we're made for each-other, and I don't really want to experience life without her. She makes it all worth it.
