As a child, you may have felt abandoned, misunderstood, and alone. Now that you are an adult and a parent yourself, you know all too well the emotional pain and anguish that can come with being a part of an emotionally immature family. There are seven signs that you may be living in an emotionally immature family and if you experience any of them, it’s time to take steps to heal.
1. Your family is constantly fighting or yelling.
2. You feel like you’re always the victim.
3. You feel like you’re not good enough.
4. You feel like you don’t have any control over your life.
5. You feel like you’re never able to fix things.
6. You feel like you’re never able to connect with anyone.
7. You feel like you’re always alone.
If you’re experiencing any of these signs, it’s time to take action and heal. Adult children who have emotionally immature families often struggle with a lot of emotional pain and stress. Healing from this type of trauma can take time, but it’s possible with the help of a therapist or support group. If you’re not able to find healing on your own, it may be necessary to seek help from a family therapist.
