[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. If you said that you received little or none and feel comfortable sharing, why do you think your parent(s) were that way? [/quote] Both of my parents experienced a ton of childhood trauma (abuse, divorce, alcoholism, poverty, death of a parent) and never processed any of it. They expected us to fix what had been broken in their own childhoods, and they did not have the maturity to provide love, affection and guidance. They seemed to resent us for having a better life than they had growing up, and they took out their unresolved anger towards their parents on us. I think if you grow up with trauma (which I did, my own and my parents) you need to do the work to address it before you have kids. Otherwise you just put it on them.[/quote]
