to her
The girl is affected most by her mother who is
unapproachable: ‘momma is in the bedroom with the door
closed.’ The girl mourns that she has no access to her
mother; she cannot ask for advice or direction/guidance.
The girl experiences feelings of abandonment and rejection.
She feels her mother does not provide any emotional
support or guidance. Her mother does not provide comfort
or reassurance. This is a time in a teenage girl’s life when
she needs the presence of her mother the most. SACAI JUN 2021
