Summary:
"Are you one of the countless people who grew up with
emotionally
immature
parents
? If you suffer from this troubling parent/child dynamic, you may still recall painful moments from your childhood when your emotional needs were not met, when your feelings were dismissed, or when you took on
adult
levels of maturity in an effort to compensate for your
parents
' behavior. And while you likely cultivated strengths such as self-reliance and independence along the way - strengths that have served you well as an
adult
- having to be the
emotionally
mature person in your relationship with your parent is confusing and even damaging. If you are ready to gain the insight you need to move on from feelings of loneliness and abandonment and find healthy ways to meet your own emotional needs, this book will help. The four main types of
emotionally
immature
parents
: Emotional
parents
, who may vacillate between over-involvement and abandonment, leading to frightening instability and unpredictability; Driven
parents
, who are often compulsively busy and can't stop trying to perfect everything, including other people; Passive
parents
, who may have a laissez-faire mindset and avoid dealing with anything upsetting; and,
Rejecting
parents
, who may withdraw from any relationship with their child, showing either detachment or anger as primary responses. All
emotionally
immature
parents
have one defining characteristic in common, even if they differ in style - none of them puts their child's needs first. This book will show you that you are not to blame for your parent's behavior. It also offers real skills for handling difficult family situations and moving on from the emotional wounds of your childhood. If you are ready to gain a greater understanding of both your
parents
and yourself, this book provides a much-needed guide."--Provided by publisher.
