@thepottymouthguru: A lot of emotionally avoidant, conflict-avoidant, or shame-defensive men were once little boys who learned: 👉 emotions create danger, guilt, engulfment, or inadequacy. Especially in mother-son dynamics where the son unconsciously became: - the emotional caretaker - the “good boy” - the stabilizer - the confidant - the emotional protector Many sons learn VERY early that being emotionally needed is the closest thing they get to being emotionally loved. So adulthood can look like: - emotional shutdown - conflict avoidance - overfunctioning practically instead of emotionally - guilt around boundaries - emotional suppression - withdrawal during conflict - shame spirals when partners bring hurt - difficulty tolerating emotional dependency or disappointment Not because they don’t care. Because the nervous system learned: 👉 emotional safety depends on emotional containment. And honestly? Some emotionally avoidant men were once emotionally over-responsible little boys. ❤️🤟🏻🌿 #unfuckyourself #thepottymouthguru #attachmentstyles #motherandson #relationships

I have an emotionally unavailable adult son. How do I create a safer relationship between us?

I’m a mom, son is 16, I may have messed up in his younger years. Is there anything I can do to fix this wound before he grows into an adult?

I(25) have a weird dynamic. my bf(36) was his mother's(deceased) favourite child. grew up in praise and acknowledgement of his intellectual capacity. very emotional and cries easily. not sure what category he falls in because I don't understand how to treat him. I feel like he wants me to embody his mother most times. help

I am so glad I make sure I hold myself accountable for my mistakes, that feelings are ok, being close and cared for is ok. that being who you are is ok. I love my boys more than anything and I want to ensure they are emotionally responsible and mature men

My son is 11 and feels very comfortable crying in front of me and shares vulnerable thoughts and feelings. He is my world and I do the best that I can. Kids need to learn how to work through every emotion and we're here to teach them how to. 😊
