Emotionally Immature Parents

About this event

Hello participants, We are discussing EMOTIONALLY IMMATURE PARENTS. I know the topic might bring up some family history and trauma so please take caution. This is a topic I am interested in because of my childhood experiences. Upon reflection, my childhood wasn’t all bad since as an adult I am aware my parents did what they could based on what they knew at the time. And besides, they most likely had emotionally immature parents too. Please listen to the following podcast or read the attached transcript. ‘Emotionally immature parents and grandparents: what to do if you have them (or are one)’ Should you consider estrangement from an emotionally immature parent? How do you process the grief of realising your more stable parent … might have been a passive enabler? And what should you do if you realise you are an emotionally immature parent? This week, clinical psychologist and author Lindsay Gibson is answering your questions about emotionally immature parents. Each family is different, but she shares some key tips and lessons that can help you navigate difficult relationships. https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/allinthemind/emotionally-immature-parents-grandparents-mailbag/106718424 TRANSCRIPT: Bottom of the website.
