Impact of Emotional Immaturity in Parents

Emotionally immature parents significantly impact their children by failing to offer the necessary emotional intimacy, leading to a persistent sense of emotional loneliness. These parents often avoid reality and genuine emotional engagement, creating an environment where children feel unseen and unsupported. As the book states, 'Emotionally immature parents fear genuine emotion and pull back from emotional closeness.' This emotional detachment results in long-term emotional isolation for the children.
