At one stage my son was very depressed and talked about feeling hopeless. He had a few counselling sessions, but I don't think they helped. He seems fine now, but I worry that pushing him will cause him to spiral again. He lacks self-confidence and seems happy to exist in the microcosm of his bedroom. I know he needs to take responsibility for his life, but how hard should I work to make that happen?
在某一阶段,儿子感到沮丧、绝望。他参加了几场辅导咨询,但我认为并没有什么作用。现在,他看上去还不错,但我担心将他赶出去会让他再度抑郁。他缺乏自信,乐于宅在卧室的微型世界中。我知道他需要为自己的人生负责,但我难以忍下心让他走。
His two older sisters are not like him at all; both are independent and getting on with their lives. I worry that if anything happened to me, my son wouldn't have the skills to cope. Should I kick him out and give him some tough love, or let him grow up a bit?
与他不同的是,他的两位姐姐都非常独立、已经开始独自生活。我担心如若我遭遇不测,我的儿子是否能安然应对。我该不该将他赶出家门,对他严格要求,亦或是等他长大一点再说呢?
I loathe the term "tough love". Sure, it's tough loving people sometimes, through certain situations; but to me tough denotes something hard and unyielding, which isn't love at all. I think you are torn between what you want to do and what you feel others are saying you should do. You should ignore what your father is saying: that is not helpful at all. You know your son: what's your instinct telling you?
