Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents

Didn’t like the quality of the book itself. Look of a used book. Doesn’t look straight and neat. Disappointed. The information is valuable though.

It’s something we all need to understand why we are who we are.

It was a gift but I think everything is good

Easy psychology for everyone, explains emotional needs.

Grown up in Japanese culture, putting questions about authority figures, especially about parents had been a strong taboo. But this book showed me clear explanations why my parents or parents of the others behaved in that inappropriate manners, which deeply hurt me or their children but was rationalized only because they're in the position of "parents," and the significance of negative effects caused. This is one of the must books for adult children of narcissistic, emotionally immature/absent parents to navigate a healing journey.

Gracias a este libro ahora entiendo mejor a mis padres, pero también a mí mismo. Agradezco a la autora porque me ha ayudado a ser más empático y flexible respecto a las expectativas que tengo de otras personas. Al final, no se trata de cambiar a nadie, sino de comprender y aceptar sus limitaciones.Además, me ha ayudado a establecer límites razonables y a dejar de cargar con cierta culpa familiar y social. Es curioso darse cuenta de que hay personas que simplemente no son capaces de tolerar demasiada cercanía emocional, y está bien. El objetivo no es juzgar, sino comprender, aceptar las limitaciones de los demás y reconocer que nadie es perfecto.Un libro grandioso.

I’m writing while there are 3 more chapters remaining.. This book came to me at the right timing!! I couldn’t have been more grateful.. How it simplifies your complex emotions, how it gets you to understand the family dynamics or relationship dynamics.. it’s definitely an eye opener to me!!Thank you Mam
