Pam's son is a college student and an alcoholic. He still lives at home, and she often cleans up messes that occur when he is bi

nge drinking. Even though she wishes desperately he was not an alcoholic, she still feels like she somehow contributes to it. She tries to help him complete his assignments in school, even though they are really his responsibility, because she doesn't want to see him fail.

Answer:

Codependency is at work in this situation.

Explanation:

Codependency is a concept used in psychology and social work to understand and explain the dynamic of a family in which one member is a substance abuser or has another kind of addiction. According to this concept, while the family member becomes dependent of a substance, he or she also becomes dependent on the rest of the family and, likewise, the rest of the familly becomes dependent on him or her.

In the case stated in the question, although Pam is not happy with his son's addiction, she is enabling it by not making him accountable for his decisions and preventing him of experiencing the consequences of his actions. Besides depending on alcohol, his son has also become dependent of his mother in order to continue his addiction and she has become dependent on his actions for her wellbeing.

Itsuki's withdrawal from all social interaction, likely the result of bullying.

Bullying is defined as the repeated and intentional harming and humiliation of others, particularly those who are smaller, weaker, younger, or otherwise more vulnerable than the bully. Bullying is distinguished from ordinary aggression by its deliberate targeting of those with less power.

Bullying can include both verbal and physical attacks, as well as threats of harm, other forms of intimidation, and deliberate exclusion from activities. Bullying appears to peak between the ages of 11 and 13 and then declines as children get older. Overt physical aggression, such as kicking, hitting, and shoving, is most common in younger children; relational aggression, such as spreading rumors and social exclusion, becomes more common as children mature.

Explanation:

Children's learning begins with observation. Children see what their parents do, how they behave, and they learn those same behaviors, they acquire them in their repertoire and they will repeat them in the future.

Children acquire and modify complex patterns of behaviors, knowledge and attitudes through the observation of adults.

Why do third parties usually not last very long in the American two party system?
Lemur [1.5K]
Third party candidates don't have the funding or popularity of our main two political parties, so they are unable to campaign effectively. Often, voters end up choosing the Republican or Democrat who is closest to the third party candidate if they really wanted to support them, and the third party's supporters give up.
