Some mothers tend to over-pamper their children and interfere in their decisions. This causes the children to be unable to rely on themselves and form their own independent entities.

Possessive love consists of controlling children with irritation and anger for the most trivial reasons. Mental health and family guidance specialist Rita Samaha says a mother’s relationship with her son changes depending on his age. There are several ways to get rid of the love of possession, “and the mother must be convinced of the treatment that will improve her life for the better,” she says.
