Relacje zachodzące pomiędzy osobami samodzielnymi życiowo a ich rodzinami pochodzenia

Abstract

The article shows that the highest-ranked value in the life of self-reliant people is the feeling of freedom. The decision to leave the family home was motivated by the urge to expand one’s personal freedom, and to lead a life that would be independent of one’s parents. The emotional ties that link the self-reliant people with their parents are not as strong as those that link them their friends. The influence that the families of orientation have upon lives of the ‘singled-out’ people is subject to deterioration as time passes. The self-reliance evolves from a transitional period into a lifestyle.
