Family & Relationships. Psychology. Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. HTML:

If you grew up with an emotionally immature, unavailable, or selfish parent, you may have lingering feelings of anger, loneliness, betrayal, or abandonment. You may recall your childhood as a time when your emotional needs were not met, when your feelings were dismissed, or when you took on adult levels of responsibility in an effort to compensate for your parent's behavior. These wounds can be healed, and you can move forward in your life.

In this breakthrough book, clinical psychologist Lindsay Gibson exposes the destructive nature of parents who are emotionally immature or unavailable. You will see how these parents create a sense of neglect, and discover ways to heal from the pain and confusion caused by your childhood. By freeing yourself from your parents' emotional immaturity, you can recover your true nature, control how you react to them, and avoid disappointment. Finally, you'll learn how to create positive, new relationships so you can build a better life.

Discover the four types of difficult parents:

  • The emotional parent instills feelings of instability and anxiety
  • The driven parent stays busy trying to perfect everything and everyone
  • The passive parent avoids dealing with anything upsetting
  • The rejecting parent is withdrawn, dismissive, and derogatory
  •

    Best for:
    I mean, as it says on the tin, right? Also maybe if you’re considering becoming a parent? Might be good to consider checking it out.

    In a nutshell:
    Author Gibson explores the different types of emotionally immature parents, the impact that can have on their children as children and as adults, and offers ways of continuing on in relationship with such parents without further harming oneself.

    Worth quoting:
    “Emotionally immature parents can do a good job of taking care of their children’s physical and material needs. In a world of food, shelter, and education, these parents may be able to provide everything that’s needed. In terms of things that are physical, tangible, or activity related, many of these parents make sure their children get every advantage they can afford. But when it comes to emotional matters, they can be oblivious to their children’s needs.”

    “Emotionally immature people, on the other hand, often take pride in their lack of [emotional work]. They rationalize their impulsive and insensitive responses with excuses like ‘I’m just saying what I think’ or ‘I can’t change who I am.’”

    Why I chose it:
    Well, I am an adult child. Am I an adult child of one or more emotionally immature parents? My therapist would probably say yes…

    Review:
    I can’t really review this in as much detail as I would like without revealing more about myself than I feel comfortable doing. But what I will say is that after spending some time in therapy last year, the concept of emotionally immature parents came onto my radar. I’m not going to specify which parents this might apply to; I will, however, share that I found this book to be full of highly relevant information that helped me to both better understand myself and help me sort out new approaches to interacting with the parents in the future.

    The book is laid out quite well, with clearly defined and contained chapters. Gibson starts by exploring the impact of emotional immature parents on their adult children’s lives, then jumps into helping the reader sort out what an emotionally immature parent it. There’s a checklist / quiz here that I found helpful and eye-opening.

    Gibson theorizes that there are four types of emotionally immature parents, and explores how they differ. There are three chapters in the middle that I found a bit less helpful than the others, partially because I think I already explored the ideas there in other ways, but these sections are probably quite helpful to most folks: they’re about different ways us as adult children react to being raised by emotionally immature parents. The final chapters are full of tips and tools for managing the relationship with an emotionally immature parent, which is really what I was in it for, and what I am looking forward to trying out in the future.

    I think a lot of folks in my generation (Xennial) and younger are taking the time to explore and improve their emotional lives, and part of that work involves looking at their relationships, including with their parents. While this book might not be what my peers would reach for initially (it’s not marketed in a clever pop non-fiction way), I do think it’s worth checking out.

    What’s next for this book:
    On my shelf and to be referred to regularly I’d imagine. ( )

    I didn't realize I needed this book, but, wow, it was incredible. If you need this advice, you will get so much out of this book. ( )

    My brother read this book and recommended it. I figured it would be something of a waste of time; my childhood was fraught with turbulence, and my brother recommending this book only confirmed that, so what need did I have of verifying it for myself?

    As I read (listened, since it was on Audible for free at the time), I rarely thought of my own parents. Instead, every time the author mentioned some way in which people act emotionally immature, I thought of myself and how I identified with each behavior. What an eye-opener. It's only been a week or two since reading, and I've already changed how I treat my daughters. And that's not because the book offered a bunch of ways to become less emotionally immature. Rather, just being aware takes you so far.

    Great read, if you are the emotionally immature type. Since that can be hard to identify without knowing the behaviors, I recommend this book to everyone so you can find out for yourself. Hopefully it will be a waste of time for you, but if not, then you'll be happy to at least be aware. ( )

    It's an excellent resource and therapy book, but I don't know if I agree with everything in it, but I just take what makes sense and leave the rest that doesn't feel right or makes sense for me. I checked this out from the library and now I think I should get my own copy to reread/re-listen to sometimes. This is one of those books I think is good to have in your library. ( )
