AQUELE DA CADEIRINHA
Summary
Júlia shares her struggle with a mother-in-law who aggressively opposes using a car seat for her daughter, Manu. The tension stems from the mother-in-law’s past trauma of losing a child in a car accident, leading her to deny the safety equipment's importance. A friend suggests the hostility is a defense mechanism against unresolved grief. A psychologist advises Júlia to maintain firm boundaries, prioritize her daughter's safety, and recognize that she cannot resolve her mother-in-law's emotional pain.
