Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents
Are you one of the many people who grew up with emotionally immature parents?
If your parent's needs often (or always) came first, you probably still remember those painful moments of childhood emotional neglect, when your feelings were brushed off and dismissed, or when you had to mature yourself in your roles in order to compensate for your parents’ behavior. While you more than likely grew from this, cultivating aptitudes like self-reliance and independence through your pain (which have probably served you well as an adult), having to be the emotionally mature person in your relationship with your parent is confusing and draining, and nobody deserves that.
Emotionally immature parents adversely affect their children's lives.
Feeling emotionally lonely often comes as a result of having parents who were so wrapped up in their own issues they neglected your needs for connection and attention, and at times (maybe always) expected you to make them feel better, to do for them what they couldn't, wouldn't do for you.
With this book, you would be able to better understand how immature people function, so you won't feel like you have no say in your life anymore. You will be able to say "No" without feeling immense guilt and pressure.
You will also learn to reconnect with yourself deeply while you're interacting with others in ways that keep you from being emotionally drained.
This breakthrough book presents the clinical psychologist Lindsay Gibson, and her explanation and description of the destructive nature of emotionally immature or unavailable parents.
By reading this book, you will be able to see how immature parents can create a sense of neglect. This book will also help you find new ways to heal from the pain and confusion created in your childhood and carried like a heavy weight with you throughout your lifetime.
It's time to be free of feeling so alone, so undervalued, so underappreciated. As an adult, you have a chance to love yourself and accept yourself the way nobody did for you as a child. You deserve better, and this book should help you see that and help yourself get that.
