Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Not all difficult childhoods involve obvious harm. Some leave quieter marks — the subtle ache of feeling unseen, the exhaustion of managing a parent's emotions before your own, the slow realization that the adult in the room was not always truly present in the ways that mattered most. This book explores the lasting emotional impact of growing up with parents who, despite their love, lacked the emotional maturity to meet their children's deeper needs. It examines how emotional immaturity in parents — whether expressed through volatility, emotional unavailability, self-centeredness, or chronic inconsistency — shapes the way their children learn to relate to themselves and others long into adulthood. It looks honestly at the patterns that tend to follow: the difficulty trusting your own perceptions, the habit of over-functioning in relationships, the lingering sense that your needs are somehow too much. Rather than assigning blame, this book offers a compassionate framework for understanding where these patterns came from and what it means to begin recognizing them with clarity and self-kindness. For anyone who grew up feeling more like a companion to their parent than a child — this is a thoughtful, validating exploration of that quietly complex experience.
