He probably just needs some time to himself, he will comeback to me
Mom probably thinks I'm crazy...... I love him sooo much.
Hey, is everything alright now?
yes, mom, i don't want to talk about. every time you see me you just keep on brining the same topic. leave me alone
several months has passed by, but Sophia still thinks that that her boyfriend is going to come back, she is denying that her boyfriend left her and she is still trying to contact him. she is eating less and has less energy now. Sophia's mom is trying to comfort her by explaining how their is lots of other people who go through denial as well
Denial is one of the most common defense mechanisms. It occurs when you refuse to accept reality or facts. People in denial may block external events or circumstances from the mind so that they don't have to deal with the emotional impact. In other words, they avoid painful feelings or events.
your right mom, I think its time to move on. I need to accept the fact that we are not together anymore
