Behaviors, emotions, or “symptoms” often representative of adults who are emotionally immature and detached include but are not limited to:

rigidity (unwillingness to be flexible when needed),

low-stress tolerance (inability to tolerate stress in a mature manner),

emotional instability with aggression (anger outbursts characterized by threats of physical aggression, suicidal gesture, cutting behaviors or other acts of self-harm),

poor boundaries (desiring to be their child’s friend instead of a parent),

unstable relationships (multiple partners or friends who create more trouble than peace),

attention-seeking (looking for accolades, recognition, or support at all costs) among many other characteristics.

Tragically, the affected children often develop into teenagers and adults who also struggle with life. 



In this video, I discuss the consequences of having emotionally detached parents and some of the things you may have grappled with yourself with your own parents. I end the video by discussing ways to heal.


I welcome your comments and questions!
