How to require module from parent folder in Node/Express JS?

-controller
---user_controller.js

-router
---user
------user_router.js

I have a file structure as above in my Express Js project, but I am facing difficulties to require user_controller from user_router. The only way I can required that is by using this method :

const user_controller = require(process.mainModule.path + '/controller/user_controller')

But something tells me that this might not be the best practice to do so. Anyone hove any idea to do so?
