Abstract

This article examines the fragility, vulnerability and the status “victim” of parents “failed” compared to the violence of their children. How these children, tweens or teens could express themselves so violently against those who represented foremost authority? How could they reach far overflows, up to denigrate, alienate and even mistreat his own parents? How could these kids hit their parents? These different observations were the main theme of this article whose main purpose is to analyze the conflicts that these young mothers live and their corollaries, namely, despair, suffering and many other destructive feelings.
