You may have lingering feelings of anger, loneliness, betrayal, or abandonment if you grew up with an emotionally immature, unavailable, or selfish parent. You may remember your childhood as a time when your emotional needs were unmet, when your feelings were dismissed, or when you assumed adult levels of responsibility to compensate for your parent's behavior. These wounds can heal, and you can move on with your life.
Lindsay Gibson, a clinical psychologist, exposes the destructive nature of emotionally immature or unavailable parents in this ground-breaking book- Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. You'll see how these parents instill a sense of neglect in their children, and you'll learn how to heal from the pain and confusion caused by your childhood. You can recover your true nature, control how you react to them, and avoid disappointment by freeing yourself from your parents' emotional immaturity. Finally, you'll discover how to cultivate positive, new relationships in order to build a better life.
Learn about the four types of difficult parents:
- The unstable and anxious feelings are instilled by the emotional parent.
- The driven parent is constantly striving to improve everything and everyone.
- The passive parent avoids confronting anything upsetting.
- The rejecting parent is distant, dismissive, and disparaging.
