If you grew up with an emotionally immature, unavailable, or selfish parent, you probably still
struggle with anger, sadness, resentment, or shame. As a child, your emotional needs were not
met, your feelings were dismissed, and you likely took on adult levels of responsibility in an
effort to compensate for your parent's behavior. Somewhere, along the way, you lost your sense
of self. And without this strong sense of self, you may feel like your own well-being isn't valuable.
From the author of Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, this compassionate
guide offers daily tips and tools to help you set boundaries with others, honor and validate your
emotions, and thrive in the face of life's challenges. You'll discover how to protect yourself from
hurtful behavior, stop making excuses for others' limitations, forge healthier relationships, and
feel more confident in your life. Most importantly, you'll learn to stop putting others' needs
above your own, and manage life's stressors with competence, clarity, and optimism.
