Tina’s mother bought a helicopter so she could observe her daughter while at college. She circled the campus, observed Tina in her dorm room, and made sure she was attending all classes and wasn’t getting drunk at fraternity parties.
Tina’s mother felt better being able to closely monitor her daughter. She wanted to protect Tina from the evils of college life, and to prevent her from getting into trouble.
Tina felt suffocated and embarrassed by her mother's behaviors.
Despite Tina's pleas for more independence, the mother refused. She didn't want Tina to end up as a single parent like her.
