“Children do not experience neglect as a neutral void. Instead, neglect produces a state of need and intense longing for the emotionally missing parent. This has enormous consequences in the future development of their personality. Neglecting a child is like starving it: the longer the child goes without food, the more the child focuses on his hunger, and the more he tries to meet his needs with fantasy. The very presence of a parent who neglects a child is like showing a starving child a banquet that is sealed off by a glass wall.”
