#1 Emotional abandonment is when a parent does not provide the emotional nurturing a child needs. It is common for people to assume that such a loss will affect the adult child’s life, but they rarely understand the impact emotional abandonment has on the present.

#2 Emotionally absent mothers often expect their children to take care of them in some way. They might have relied on you for their emotional and physical well-being, and they might have demanded that you take care of younger siblings when you were actually too young for such a responsibility.

#3 When you have been raised by an emotionally absent mother, you are really struggling with fear of abandonment. As a child, you needed your mother to develop a positive self-image, but she did not pay attention to you or spend any significant time with you.

#4 To heal the scars from your childhood, you must first understand why it happened. You must recognize that the problem was never about you, but about your mother’s own issues.
