This could’ve been occurring way before the traumatic event even happened, but afterwards it could’ve impacted her even more because she has no one to talk to about the event and console her, which makes Daneka distance herself even further away from others and her loved ones. This can overall contribute in developing a lack of consistent stimulation, comfort and routine for Daneka which results in her forming an insecure-disorganized attachment. This could’ve caused this onset of PTSD from happening, resulting in the mixture of approach and avoidance, apprehension, helplessness and a disorientation, which helps to explain Daneka falling behind in her cognitive and social development. Also, it is suspected that Daneka has difficulty with emotion regulation in overall understanding, labeling and regulating her internal states. Poor emotion regulation is overall at

Esther’s reflection on her mothers misguided suggestion to act as if her breakdown never occurred demonstrates Plath’s conviction that ignoring the many facets of mental illness is consequently ignoring an important aspect of the sufferers identity: “Maybe forgetfulness, like a kind of snow, should numb and cover them.

Emotional withdrawal is common when the parent of a Borderline is also suffering from the disorder. For example, a mother dreading rejection from their child may defend herself by withdrawing emotionally, and the absence of the child’s mother causes the child to become even more needy, so to guard themselves from abandonment, they learn to withdraw too (Bayer 47). Another defense mechanism used by Borderlines is referred to as splitting. In this situation the ‘part objects’ (good and bad) substitute psychologically for the whole person, who has both assets and weaknesses. The patient learns to separate their ‘good’ self from their ‘bad’ self, and these two sources of identity become extremely detached from one another (Bayer 47).

At one point in the journey she contacts her mother and her mother tries to come out and finish the journey with her daughter. Tania does not allow her mother to come on the rest of the journey with her because she is supposed to be doing this journey alone, but also because she knows her mother is to sick and to weak.

She describes the emotions that she felt by comparing herself to Boo Radley from To Kill a Mockingbird (Stockett 414). This comparison is likely to be made because people are afraid of what is unknown, so they create false stories or spread comments of hate thus adding to the ignorance which is being passed down as if it were a family tradition. Eugenia had also been avoiding these people as though she was frightened by their way of rejecting people and being unaccepting to change.

The only way the lives of others will change for the better is if Eugenia seeks self-improvement and others follow in her footsteps of
