In this breakthrough book, clinical psychologist Lindsay Gibson exposes the destructive nature of parents who are emotionally immature or unavailable. You will see how these parents create a sense of neglect and discover ways to heal from the pain and confusion caused by your childhood. By freeing yourself from your parents' emotional immaturity, you can recover your true nature, control how you react to them, and avoid disappointment. Finally, you'll learn how to create positive new relationships so you can build a better life.

As an adult child of someone with two emotionally immature parents (unbeknownst to me until I found this book), I have never felt more understood in my life. This book scientifically and research-based explained my experiences and who my parents are/why I have habits that I do. It has served to help me manage my parent relationships in a way that protects me from emotional and psychological hurt while also helping me to realize areas I need to improve in because of poor habits I have learned/used. I couldn't recommend this book more highly.

Fantastic and applicable

At almost 60 years of age, I finally understand myself and what led me here! Great suggestions for rebuilding a life once lost. Thank you!

Amazing!

The book is incredible and profound, but the voice performance was almost unbearable. A thoughtful, serious voice performance would have worked well, but there was a strident, almost scolding tone that was conveyed. Nevertheless, I will be buying this book to read in print and will recommend it. Outstanding and insightful advice for those who have parents who were unable to provide what their children needed to thrive.

Terrible voice, great book

I can't remember why I decided to listen to this book, but I'm glad I did. It is like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I told my brother to read it. It was so accurate it was freaking him out a little. It may be intense to see yourself in this book (as the parent or the child). BUT, it tells you what to do. It doesn't just open up the wound and leave you hanging. It identifies the cause and the solution.

Spooky accurate...but also a relief...
