"Passei o dia numa ilha. Uma senhora simpática, vendo-me a olhar para uma estante no seu restaurante, deixou-me levar um livro emprestado. Isto foi o máximo que consegui ler antes da hora de apanhar o barco para regressar a casa.
Fico à espera de reencontrar o livro numa biblioteca para terminar a leitura. :)" — Aug 26, 2025 10:08AM

“Emotionally immature parents often have the fantasy that their babies will make them feel good about themselves.”

“Emotionally immature adults communicate feelings in this same primitive way. As parents, when they’re distressed they upset their children and everyone around them, typically with the result that others are willing to do anything to make them feel better. In this role reversal, the child catches the contagion of the parent’s distress and feels responsible for making the parent feel better.”

“Further, in an enmeshed family, if you have a problem with someone, you talk about that person to other people instead of going to the person directly. Bowen called this triangling and characterized enmeshment as the glue that keeps such families together.”

“Emotionally immature people are highly self-referential, meaning that in any interaction, all roads lead back to them. However, they aren’t self-reflective. Their focus on themselves isn’t about gaining insight or self-understanding; it’s about being the center of attention.”

“When emotional parents disintegrate, they take their children with them into their personal meltdown. Their children experience their despair, rage, or hatred in all its intensity.”
