Elizaveta Mayer, 15  y.o.
 
 
Elizaveta’s parents have constantly been fighting, drifting apart and coming back together time and again. They also have a problem with their residence: while they have a room in an apartment owned by some relatives, they have been in a permanent conflict with these family members. Since she was little, Elizaveta had to share a bed with her parents, as she had no other place to sleep. Her mother has always been a very authoritarian parent, ignoring her daughter’s wants and interests. As a result, Elizaveta came to hate her mother, becoming very negative and resentful towards authority. Her behavior started showing signs of protest, rebellion and disregard of her mother’s requests. After she turned 14, she left school and went to live on the street.
To date, Elizaveta is undergoing a psychological rehabilitation course at our RehabCenter to mend the relationship with her mother. In the course of psychological examination, she has shown a superior level of intellectual and creative ability.
Elizaveta dreams of having her own bed, and a resolution to her apartment problems. Her favorite subjects at school are geography and history. In her spare time, she likes sports, reading, drawing, and listening to music. In the future she wants to graduate from school, become an educated person and help those people, who do not have enough support and understanding from their families.
