Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents Carry A Heavy Burden
There is an invisible burden that often goes unnoticed. It is the burden carried by children of emotionally immature parents.
It is a mental load, a constant pressure to conform and cater to the emotional needs of a parent, who should ideally be the one providing emotional support.
For many, especially those who haven't lived through it, it's hard to grasp the full weight of this burden and its profound impact on the lives of these children.
"Don't talk about that topic. Make sure not to do that thing that sets them off. Don't share that part of yourself. Manage how they act at that event. Don't hurt their feelings. Stay in your lane. Respond the right way." These are the constant reminders that echo in the minds of these adult children, dictating every action and every word.
You have to censor your words and actions, not because it's the right thing but because you're scared of the reaction it might elicit.
You have to suppress parts of your personality because it might 'set off' your parent.
You have to manage your parent’s behavior at events because they lack the emotional maturity to conduct themselves appropriately.
This is the reality for children of emotionally immature parents. You're not alone and there are so many people out there who understand.
This Group Is For You If You Want To:
- Understand your emotionally immature parent
- Connect with other adult children of emotionally immature parents
- Stop feeling crazy
- Learn how to set boundaries and become less reactive
