A quick definition of hypotheca:

Term: hypotheca

Definition: Hypotheca is a type of mortgage in Roman law where the person who owes money is allowed to keep the property but cannot sell it. It is a way to secure a loan without giving up ownership of the property.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Hypotheca is a type of mortgage in Roman law where the debtor is allowed to keep the property but cannot sell or transfer it to someone else. This means that the creditor has a right to the property if the debtor fails to pay back the loan.

Example: John takes out a loan from a bank to buy a house. The bank puts a hypotheca on the house, which means that John can still live in the house and use it as his own, but he cannot sell it or transfer ownership to someone else until he pays back the loan. If John fails to pay back the loan, the bank can take possession of the house.

Explanation: This example illustrates how hypotheca works in practice. The bank has a right to the property as security for the loan, but John can still use the property until he pays back the loan. If he fails to do so, the bank can take possession of the property and sell it to recover the money owed.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
19:12
Yeah, my life really does flow in about 5 years periods.
