Emotionally Unavailable Parents

Emotionally unavailable parents are those who struggle to connect with their children on an emotional level. This can manifest as neglect, aloofness, or a lack of responsiveness to a child's feelings and needs. These parents may be preoccupied with their own issues or may have difficulty expressing affection and understanding. As a result, children may feel unsupported, anxious, or unworthy of love, which can impact their emotional development and relationships later in life. Understanding this dynamic can help individuals recognize patterns in their own experiences and relationships.
