abstract="This Life Story study gained a comprehensive picture of experiences of young adolescents (ages 12-14) accompanying mothers in emergency domestic violence shelters. A holistic, chronological approach in interviews with an ethnically diverse sample of youth and their mothers (N = 27) yielded insights into perspectives on relationships. This article focuses on the complex thematic finding &quot;interconnected family boundaries,&quot; a central dynamic in mother-youth relationships characterized by emotional closeness, highly cohesive boundaries, and interdependence in problem solving regarding family issues. Participants identified this dynamic as essential for adaptation yet entailing losses. <br><br>DISCUSSION considers theoretical triangulation and implications for research, intervention, and practitioner education.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
