@stephanne221: emotionally immature parents were often emotionally, neglected children. They became young adults who had children of their own without any blueprint for how to meet the full extent of their needs for their children. In my work with parents, I help them connect to the unmet needs within themselves so that they can empower themselves and thus have a greater capacity to show up for their adult children and hold space for their children’s unmet emotional needs and show up in the the ways that they needed their parents to do for them. The parents that I work with who show up and do the work and embrace the state of vulnerability and healing, protect their children from either having to be a cycle breaker or from living out their adulthood without a reliable and true connection to a parent. I am so proud of the parents that I work with and on a daily basis, they show me the power of how transformational repairs can be. For the adult children reading this who know that their parents would never be a part of this process. Please use this video to reaffirm YOUR reality and your truth, and know that your pain and unmet needs were and continue to be real and valid and remain worthy of advocating for whether your parents are in the picture or not. You may have a blueprint of self neglect as part of being emotionally neglected yourself when you were a child and that was unavoidable, AND, as an adult, you do gain access to the self capacity to update this blueprint, you just may need a little support in that process. Whether you are interested in learning how to repair, or how to update your attachment blueprint so that you can finally reach a level of peace with yourself that you have long wanted but never held, check the 🔗 in my profile to explore how you can be supported in this process ❤️‍🩹 #e#estrangedn#nocontactf#familyf#familyissuesp#parentinga#adultchildrenp#parentsc#childhoodc#childhoodtraumap#parentingtipsp#parenting101a#attachmentstylea#anxiousattachmentm#momd#dadg#gentleparentingt#theattachmentacademyf#fyp

those basics are what's required to not have children removed from the home by the law

LOL, my mother thought she was nurturing because she occasionally fed us.

Wanting credit for providing basic necessities to children who never asked to be born, is crazy to me.

They don't understand that I could've lived in an orphanage and gotten the same. At least I would've known early on that I was on my own instead of the family facade 38yrs later. Whew No contact Feb2025.

Oh man, I got the bare bones on the medical part. I didn’t have a chance to even see the higher up ones.

I love this! I’m a pro nanny/child development consultant and this needs to be used in family planning so parents can feel prepared to start their journey

Mine rarely did the bare minimum. I remember plenty of times we were homeless. But now I’m educated and I’m sure they would take credit for that if I still spoke to them

I don’t think they want credit for it. It’s that according to them, it’s not even important. If they made their own list of what it means to be a good parent, nothing about emotional needs would be on it. And if you told them your emotional needs weren’t met, they would just be dismissive and guilt trip gaslight you.

I feel torn sometimes because I know my parents THOUGHT they were providing emotional needs BY providing those physical needs (they fumbled when it came to medical needs)

I don’t know my mom seemed to forget that medical requirement. So I guess she really only provided the bottom one.

I only had the physical basics, medical was only if I was in a critical condition (which thankfully never really happened ) or something mandatory like vaccines. 😬

Mine provided the bare minimum of the base level and that's it. The funny thing is my pets get a better treatment from me according to the hierarchy and I wasn't doing well financially and I don't think I deserve an award or appreciation for just doing my job and nothing special.

This is great. Explains why my ex wife hyper focuses on the bottom 2. Constantly buying them stuff, over-doctoring to the point I had to get an attorney and the law involved. Meanwhile my kids have no emotional needs met by her. Total neglect of the top 2

It’s the wanting a medal for doing the bare minimum (that they didn’t really want to do anyways). 😏
