Photo project "The reverse side of maternal love" by Anna Radchenko

Alas, we live in a world where manipulators and psychological vampires often rule the ball. And one of the varieties of psychological vampirism is a "caring mother" who has chosen a sinister attitude of "living for the sake of children." But if you look into it, then we are not talking about the children themselves, about their desires and needs. Nor is it about unconditional love, when your child is loved just like that, just for the fact that it exists in the world. On the contrary, the child must meet, fulfill a number of conditions, or at least be "no worse than others."

The "caring mother", in her imperious attempts to keep everything under control, seeks to train obedient animals that would meekly do everything "as it should", be "good boys and girls". Anna Radchenko's photo project tells about this reverse side of maternal love, which brings a lot of suffering to both children and mothers.
