Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: how to heal from distant, rejecting, or self-Involved-parents by Lindsay C. Gibson

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

This book was a tough read. I needed it though. I became interested after seeing a reel on Instagram recommending the book to anyone who could relate with the content of the video, of which I could relate to all of it. I never considered before that my parents could be emotionally immature, but not only did I find it to be true, I realized other people in my life were emotionally immature too. It was really eye opening and refreshing to learn things not only about myself but about the people closest to me too. I would absolutely recommend this book for anyone who is sending an upset between themselves and anyone in their life who may exhibit signs of emotional immaturity, such as being unable to connect emotionally with their children, prioritizing one child's needs above another, belittling a child who seems to be "self sufficient" and "mature", and making themselves unavailable to talk about emotions or making everything about them and leaving no room for anyone else to talk about their feelings.
