“Emotionally immature parents fear genuine emotion and pull back from emotional closeness. They use coping mechanisms that resist reality rather than dealing with it. They don’t welcome self-reflection, so they rarely accept blame or apologize. Their immaturity makes them inconsis-tent and emotionally unreliable, and they’re blind to their children’s needs once their own agenda comes into play.”
― Lindsay C. Gibson

“Emotional neglect in childhood leads to a painful emotional loneli-ness that can have a long-term negative impact on a person’s choices regarding relationships and intimate partners.”
― Lindsay C. Gibson, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents / Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents

“​Now I'm awake to the world. I was asleep before. That's how we let it happen. When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.”
― Margaret Atwood
