Alfred Adler was a psychologist who developed a personality theory. One of the main concepts of this theory was the concept of Parasitic relationship with parents. According to this, people (especially teenagers and adults) tend to make a relationship with them in which they put special interest on the desire of the parents and not in their own personal desires. Also, they make no personal decisions without first asking their parents.
In this example, Jade "checks-in" daily with her mother and made no decisions without consulting her and she's actually in a pre-med major because that's what her mother wanted. We can see that <u>Jade is putting major interest in her mother's interests instead of her personal desires and she maintains a "close" relationship with her mother which is not allowing to take decisions by herself. </u>Therefore, Adler would see Jade's relationship with her mother as a parasitic one.
