Show Notes
Whitney talks about the impact of emotionally immature parents on their children. She explains that emotionally immature parents often lack empathy, struggle to apologize or admit fault, and are often well-liked in their communities due to their ability to maintain surface-level relationships. They also tend to provide for their children in practical ways, but fail to meet their emotional needs.
We also have Calling Home listener questions about this same topic, including coping with 'the silent treatment' and the fear of becoming like them.
Awareness of one's own trauma can prevent the repetition of harmful patterns.
