Great article! I've read a lot about this topic for the past year and I think it's a really important topic.
Emotionally immature parents fear genuine emotion and pull back
from emotional closeness. They use coping mechanisms that resist reality rather than dealing with it. They don’t welcome self-reflection, so they rarely accept blame or apologize. Their immaturity makes them inconsistent and emotionally unreliable, and they’re blind to their children’s needs once their own agenda comes into play
The worst nightmare to a child is growing up feeling unseen and unheard and it can lead to a feeling of deep emotional loneliness.
I read in a book called: The adult children of emotionally immature parents, by Lindsay C. Gibson a quote that says quite enough about this:
"The loneliness of feeling unseen by others is as fundamental a pain as physical injury, but it doesn’t show on the outside."
I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to read more about this topic.
