Figure 2. Family drawing (color): The family representation suggested strong investment in family formation and an idealized family scenario. The drawing was interpreted as compatible with ambivalence: intense desire alongside a boundary that prevents specific means of achieving parenthood (Trinca, 2020). The selective preservation of feet in the youngest child, contrasted with their omission in the couple and the two older children, may suggest differential perceived constraints across imagined family trajectories. One tentative reading is that the two older children may be read as foreclosed pathways to parenthood (e.g., spontaneous conception and ART), whereas the youngest child may be read as the only scenario experienced as remaining viable or intact.
