Figures & data
From left to right, a vertical ellipse with text continuity at the top and change at the bottom, then a vertical 2-head arrow with text “acknowledging” versus “rejecting”. To the right are two circles one above the other with text “my child is here / gone” in the upper circle and “I am / am not normal” in the lower. A diagonal ellipse labelled “the mother's world” extends from here to the right containing text “trying to fix everything” and “my child is changed / the same”. Below, mirroring this is an ellipse labelled “the adolescent's world” containing text “relating and rejection” and “I fit in / don't fit in with my friends”. Between the two ellipses is text “Tentative equilibrium: we are all trying to … figure out what has to be let go of and what can be re-found”.
