Dear Gaia:

Long ago you felt very close to your mother, now you feel far away from her. You once defined yourself as a part of something bigger: a part of your family. Now you feel alone; a young person needing to “define herself by herself”.

You can’t rely on your family for advice, or to help you calming down when you feel anxious. You now have to rely on yourself, to guide yourself and to calm yourself down, do all that by yourself, with no help from your parents.
