Growing up with Emotionally Neglectful Parents…

Описание: Meanwhile you are like... “I barely survived the emotional neglect you put me through... how on earth do you think I have the capacity to comfort you, when I’m still tending to my own wounds?”

It’s so fascinating because you are expected to have a level of emotional maturity and care that was never modeled or shown to you... but somehow were expected to find along the way.

And that same old pattern of you being asked to turn down the volume on your own feelings in order to meet their needs is playing out.

The key is to find your own mental, emotional & physical boundaries so that you have the ability to discern what you have to give.

You may decide to go no contact and that’s your boundary because there is nothing left for you to give or giving more would cause you further harm.

You may decide that there are only certain things you are willing to support them in because that is in integrity with yourself.

You may decide that part of your healing is helping them learn how to manage their own emotions.

There isn’t a wrong answer. There is only what serves you best and you don’t have to explain that to anyone. You get to choose.... and that is part of emotional healing & maturity... realizing that you don’t have to explain why you feel the way you do to others.
