„Gdy ojciec poszedł siedzieć, moje bezpieczeństwo pękło jak bańka mydlana” (studium indywidualnego przypadku)

Abstract

The Family should be an asylum of safety for all of its members, primarily for children. However, not all families cater for these significant need. This study intends to reveal, with the use of a case study – the memories of a young woman, whose childhood and adolescence periods were full of adaptation difficulties, which endangered her sense of security. The subject connects those difficulties with her father’s periods of imprisonment. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t neutral to safety disorders of the subject. Her mother generated multiple difficulties, barriers including her rejection. Neither of her parent’s families had offered her help or support. She was considered a „necessary evil”. The subject was trying to fight those difficulties back, not always picking up the most optimal route – she even tried to commit suicide. The success of this young woman lies in the fact that she overcomes all these adversities by professional and educational self-realization.
