Abstract

A good dynamic of parental involvement is needed in the child’s psychological development. Especially the father's involvement in the daughter’s life which can have lasting effects on how the daughter feels about herself, future choices, preferences, and how she feels about herself. Using psychosocial theory, this creative thesis highlights the effects of disengaged or emotionally unavailable fathers to a female young-adult in her early childhood. An absent father will result in the child’s psychological well-being as they feel insecure and not confident, as well as seeking for older partners later in life who can fulfill their emotional void they experienced during childhood. Through this screenplay, it is shown that a father's involvement in the child’s life is crucial to shape who the child will become in the future.

Abstract

This thesis and the screenplay written based on the research aims to illustrate how a parents’ act of divorce can severely impact their offspring’s perception of romantic relationships despite having reached the age of adulthood. In this creative work, Tania, the main protagonist, had to witness her parents who seemed perfectly happy together divorce when she was 19. Referring to the theory of relational trauma by Samantha L. Anders, this moment causes a deep trauma for Tania which becomes suppressed and unresolved during later parts of her life. The story emphasizes Tania's struggle towards healing; with healing being a decisional step centered on Tania herself. Thus, the creative work will place the major spotlight on Tania and how she finally has to confront aspects of her unresolved trauma when suddenly receiving a marriage proposal from her boyfriend.
