A 50-plus-year-old woman, feeling inferior, fearful, and anxious, projects her emotions onto her son.

Hello, I am Hezhu 0072. From your description, I can feel your self-blame and guilt, as well as your desire to help your child become a strong person both inside and out. I'm excited to dive into this with you! The respondent will analyze the psychological changes and activities involved from a psychological perspective and provide some suggestions, hoping to be helpful and inspiring to you.

First, as you mentioned, your mother's influence on you has unconsciously affected your son's character. You now have the amazing opportunity to gain your son's recognition and hope that he will follow in your footsteps and study psychology, analyzing the causes and effects of your own psychological activities and influences. This is a great starting point, but there are a few more things to consider.

1: You are in your fifties and your son is probably in his teens. He has his own thoughts and desires, and he's eager to grow and learn. He's ready to spread his wings and explore the world on his own. While he might not always listen to you, he's still your son and he loves you. He's navigating the exciting journey of becoming an independent young adult. You have a strong influence on your child and you're excited to support him in this next phase of his life. You might feel a little anxious about the future, but you're also filled with hope and anticipation. You've encouraged your son to study psychology, which will be a great fit for him.

Two: You choose to make up for your son by posting psychology videos and advising him to study psychology. These suggestions are all superficial. Let's put ourselves in your shoes. If your parents' way of thinking has affected you, and now she tells you that you should study psychology to avoid this influence, but essentially, what you long for more is a heartwarming exchange with your parents, and this kind of communication is a reconciliation between the two. Although your suggestions are somewhat helpful, watching psychology videos is not a long-term solution. What is needed is mutual understanding and communication between the two of you, and I'm sure you'll find a way to make it happen!

The son is almost a teenager, and what he needs at this time is the help of his father. Isn't it true that children grow up under the care of two people?

Secondly, in your description, I see that you hope to help your deceased mother and that you hope to resolve and ease the relationship between you and your mother. You see yourself as a link, which is great! But what role do you see yourself playing in this link?

A rescuer? Absolutely! You're hoping to help your mother, as a useful daughter.

Do you want to be a useful mother who helps ease the relationship between mother and child?

The respondent makes some strategic suggestions for your consideration:

Start communicating with your husband and work on building a happy family! This way, your husband can communicate with your son from a male perspective, while you can use your warm maternal love to influence your child. You don't need to be too involved in your child's life, and you can communicate with your child about things to the extent that your child can accept. Change your own communication style and have a calm and peaceful exchange with your child!

Best regards!

The world and I love you!

Hello! I'll give you the best 360-degree hug ever!

From your question, it is clear that you are personally suffering from what you believe to be a hereditary family trauma. It seems that your mother never met her biological parents, which you believe deprived her of her soul and identity and ultimately led to her developing dementia in an attempt to forget. This is an amazing opportunity for you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing!

You've inherited the cost of trauma, inferiority, fear, and anxiety, and you've projected these onto the process of raising your child.

Even if you are already fifty years old, you still feel like an unloved child. You started off by saying that you are a little whale BB girl in your fifties. This self-positioning is somewhat out of alignment with your actual age, but it's still a great start!

Maybe you don't want to grow up because you're enjoying being treated and cared for like a child!

Now you're ready to make amends and bring healing to your son! You're willing to do whatever it takes to make your son willing to communicate with you on his own initiative. You're excited to help him heal.

There's nothing you can do about this problem because your son is an adult and has his own autonomy. It's difficult to make him do things he doesn't want to do, and your relationship itself is not very good. But you know what? That's okay!

It's clear you love your mother and your son dearly. You might even feel a little proud of the intergenerational transmission of family trauma, from your mother to you to your son. This just goes to show how much love there is between you!

It's also very common for us to sometimes let ourselves become like the people we love, and to love expressing our love. We might even say things like, "When I grow up, I'll become you!" Of course, this is just a guess, but it's a fun one! After all, no one wants to be traumatized and troubled.

But as far as your question is concerned, you probably won't be able to convince your son to heal. You have already tried some methods yourself, which is great! So, you might as well heal yourself first and let yourself take charge of your own affairs.

When you're ready to move on from healing your son, he'll be able to find the resources to heal himself. In the meantime, it's time for you to focus on your own healing. Talking to a counselor is a great way to start!

Sometimes watching psychology and videos can be really useful! But remember, everyone encounters different situations, so it's a great idea to find a counselor to talk to one-on-one.

You can do this! First, heal yourself, then talk about helping your son. Get your own issues sorted out, and leave your son's issues to him.

I am often a Buddhist and sometimes a positive counselor. The world and I love you!
