What are “Emotionally Immature Parents?”
Emotionally Immature Parents (EIPs) are unwilling or unable to regulate their emotions and communicate constructively.
They lack self-awareness and empathy. They are self-focused and can either be emotionally volatile and unpredictable or disengaged and physically and/or emotionally absent.
They require their children to take care of their emotions while shaming their children for having their own emotional needs.
EIPs deflect from any attention on their shortcomings or failures —”I guess I’m just the WORST mother in the world!”
Everything revolves around them while the rest of the family works hard not to upset them.
They are unwilling to self-reflect or consider their impact on their children.
