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

Ooof, this book gets straight to the point. How do YOU, an adult human, grow up properly when your own parents never did? It's likely you inherited a lot of their baggage, and this book doesn't let you off the hook from responsibility for sorting out your own stuff even as you process how you didn't exactly get what you needed as a kid. The perspectives and exercises are helpful, and the book is refreshingly shame-free, even if you yourself also haven't known how to give your own kids, or the people around you, or yourself, all the best love. A good step in recovery from a confusing or lonely childhood.
