-According to Meriam-Webster, disconnect is defined as "to become detached or withdrawn." Disconnect clearly defines Mersault's relationship with his mother. Mersault's seeminly indifferent attitude towards everything in his life affected his relationship with his mother. He ended up putting her in a home and rarely visiting her. When he found out the news of her death, he was evidently unaffected by what had happened. The result of his disconnected relationship could have been caused by his later teenage years. Most teenagers today try very hard to disconnect themselves from their parents in order to mature and become more independant. If teenagers become too independent and disconnected they can end up having relationships with their parents similar to Mersault's; however, if they do not gain enough independenc, they will not be emotionally ready to go off to college and mature as an adult.
