[quote=Anonymous]I never got physically abused but both of my parents were emotionally negligent in very different ways. My Mom was a worrier, constantly concerned with things she couldn't control, while my Dad was a perfectionistic, demanding and selfish narcissist. Both were verbally and emotionally abused by alcoholic parents growing up. I'm 37 now but it took me until my first (and only so far) divorce to realize that I was neglected as a kid. I've dealt with it through journaling (not kidding) and talk therapy. I've been medicated for the depression and that has helped tremendously, too. I try every day to be the opposite of them for my son. [/quote]
