Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents

We become parents when we have children. But symbolically psychologically, to become parents, it is important for us not only to be able to make decisions, to be responsible for a new life, but also to be a support for their children: physical, legal, financial, domestic, psychological, and awareness of this fact determines their emotional maturity.

Parents' emotional immaturity is quite common: parents respond well to the physical and material needs of their children, but at the same time they completely ignore their emotional needs.

adults do not know how to deal with stress and build close relationships not only with their own children, but also with those around them. Growing up in a family atmosphere that limited their intellectual and emotional development, they continue to embody their parents' model of behavior in life and apply it to their own children. Many people in childhood have had to deal with the age-old problem of painful and difficult relationships with parents. As adults, these people experience emotional loneliness, confusion, and resentment, all because mom and dad couldn't give them those warm, close relationships that are so necessary for young children and teens.
