Norma Jeane Mortensen experienced a difficult childhood. She never knew her father, and her mother, Gladys, developed mental illness and was eventually placed in a mental institution. (Being Marilyn, 2010) Since Monroe’s mother is not capable of taking care of her, she was passed on to a series of orphanage houses and foster families. Some of these families are a friend or a relative of her mother. It is said that she had lived in a total of 11 foster homes throughout her youth, and when there was no family who would foster her, she would sometimes end up at the Hollygrove Orphanage in Los Angeles.

In this paper I will discuss how Melissa’s upbringing has affected her, and the changes made as she transitioned into motherhood. In addition, you will see how the difference in her relationship with her mother and the relationship she has with Issaiah has affected them both.

She spent her years growing up in a total of eight foster homes, five residential homes, and seven group homes. With all the moving around and instability Melissa felt out of place.

The book Phoenix Rising by Karen Hesse is one of the best books I have read in school. When I began reading it I did not understand the title, but as I read more I began to understand. Nyle is a young who cannot accept losses. Except when the accident in Cookshire took place she had to learn how to let go. Nyle’s Grandma allowed two evacuees, a mother and her very sick son, to settle in her house until the boy got better.
In the video "When the Bough Breaks" we saw the relationship between parents and children and profound implications for children's behavior later in the life if that attachment is hampered. The film crew followed three mothers and their problem children. All represent middle class, low risk, intact families. Cameras were placed in the homes of the families and tapes of therapy sessions were used to observe the behavior of the children and their interaction with their parents. First family, it is Calyn and his mother.
As time passed, we noticed she was having difficulties in other areas as well. She was living alone and had a fall causing a serious injury. The family convinced her to go to a day program for the elderly and this helped for a while. Eventually, we realized that she was not able to live independently. We are now in the process of arranging for her to move to an assisted living facility near my home.
John Bowlby adopted the family systems approach theory in relation to his attachment theory. Bowlby’s theories focused more on attachment styles whereas Bowen’s theory was centered specifically on the family as an organization. Bowlby theorized that children have the most successful development within an extended family system. He also believed that the child’s interactions with their caregivers within the first few years of their lives shaped their views of themselves and interactions with others (Blewitt & Broderick, 2015, p. 117). Bowlby in particular believed that the family system was important for a child’s growth and development.
Dr. Grandin didn't talk until she was three and a half years old, instead of talking she communicated her frustration by screaming, peeping, and humming. In the early 1950s, however, autistic children were sometimes incorrectly judged to be developmentally disabled, and the medical profession often recommended institutionalization. Grandin's parents were told that their daughter was brain-damaged, and suggested a long-term care facility for her. Grandin's mother instead took her to a neurologist, who proposed a course of speech therapy. She was duly enrolled in a program, and at home her mother read to her constantly.
