I was an emotionally neglected child because my mother had shock treatments in the 1950s.
Now my adult child neglects me probably because I was traumatized. I’m seeking trauma therapy to ease the pain I feel. I’m almost 75 years old and the childhood pain and inter -generational pain is staggering. My grandchild is healthy so that is the happy ending.

Thank you, hit the nail on the head. Clarified a lot of childhood trauma. I had a lot that also came from my brother who was 6 yrs older than me & an uncle who teased me often till I cried. Dad was the classic binge alcoholic & mom was just trying to keep it together.

Yes I saw myself in a couple of the 11 things that neglectful parent do the children it seems as though I wasn’t really neglected but then as I hear your words, Lisa, I understand that that is where it came from because I am very codependent. Now I’m not able to say what I feel and I am my memory is terrible and I freeze at what I want to do in my sister is the same way. There’s two of us left out of nine children. My father is a recovering alcoholicand my mother is clinically depressed

Thank you, Lisa.

Thank you.
