Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents by Lindsay C. Gibson
3.0
Found this book like a decade after I would've had a use for it but it is somewhat helpful to feel a bit more validated in my experiences.
I think my main complaint is that once you realize and admit that your parents are emotionally immature, you've probably already coped with it far past the point that this book would help. This book would be helpful to someone who still feels some sort of unhealthy attachment, or that they "owe" their parent something, which is usually way before you're able to recognize that they have serious flaws or that your childhood was actually messed up.
It's also just a very classic self help, repetitive type book so outside of the personal experience anecdotes its quite boring and takes what feels like ages to get to points you likely came to yourself in the introduction of each chapter.
overall probably helpful to someone out there but if you're already no contact or good at establishing boundaries don't bother
