Separation in psychology is the process of separating a child from his parents, when he gradually becomes an independent and independent person. At the same time, his relationship with his parents from a hierarchical one, in which he occupies a subordinate position, passes into an equal relationship between adults and adults.

Incomplete separation is dangerous with problems in personal life - work, love, friendship. A person who depends on parents cannot make decisions on his own, is afraid to be himself, tries to please his parents or vice versa to do something to spite them.
