Publisher's summary

Did you grow up in a family with parents who were abusive?

Do you still carry the mental or even physical scars?

Are you looking for a way to overcome the rejection, abuse, or other trauma you suffered?

Most of us are fortunate enough to be born to loving, caring and nurturing parents. We are encouraged and looked after, treated well and inspired. But what if that wasn’t you? What if your parents didn’t care for you in the way they were supposed to, and you are still suffering from that?

In this book, Dealing with Immature Parents: How to Recover From Narcissistic, Rejecting or Abusive Parenting, you can learn some of the lessons of how to deal with the lasting effects, through chapters on:

  • Parenthood and parenting styles
  • Mature and immature parenting
  • Where the roots lie
  • What immature parenting does to a child
  • Healing the wounds
  • Making sure you don’t do the same as your parents
  • And much more

Being a parent means taking responsibility. But if your parents never did that and you have been left with feelings of rejection or frustration, then you have to find your own way to recover.

Dealing with Immature Parents is the first step on that path. So buy this audiobook now and start healing today!

Pretty good.

I’m not certain when I might have to consult a guide like this, but I’m just glad I discovered this extensive book. It’s suitable for anyone who feels they’re isolated from family members, who have emotionally unavailable parents and parents who want to be the best for their child no matter what.

The recovery!

Many people are on abusive households and most of the abused are children. The physical aspect can heal but emotional and psychology that can take time to heal. I am sharing this audio book. Good to have it!

well done

So it's a little hard to follow at these points. But the wolf descriptions sure made me see what I had been through and why it is so hard to recover after over 20 years with the beast.

Something to meditate on.

I don’t want to make it sound as if my parents are very bad, but they can be very selfish and controlling at times. Glad I was able to internalize these insights from the brilliant author. I was almost teary-eyed by the time I finish the book. I was able to connect with this book that no other book has done.

Moving forward with my life

I grew up with an emotionally immature, unavailable, and manipulative parents and I didn’t want to be the same kind to my offspring. I don’t want her to be like me who harbor anger and loneliness and I figured this breakthrough book can help me move forward with my life and create a positive environment for my child.

Relieving!

I don’t have any doubts this will work for me because it’s clear and accessible. It’s like the author knows what’s exactly going through my mind and my heart. It’s helping me untangle my thoughts and feelings and it’s relieving! While some of the recommendations are perfect, some are not. But this is okay for me.
