I Think a Lot

Pure emotional neglect is invisible. People suffering from Emotional Neglect are in pain. There is a good explanation for why Emotional Neglect has been so overlooked. It hides. It dwells in the sins of omission, rather than commission; it’s the white space in the family picture rather than the picture itself. It’s often what was NOT said or observed or remembered from childhood, rather than what WAS said.

I've lived it growing up and even later in life. I understand it well, and how harmful it can be in how we see ourselves and the world around us.

@Coppercoil sorry you had to go through that. I don’t know how I lived through it as a kid. Being very optimistic saved me.

I was Emotionally Neglected all my life. NO one cared. So I've built walls. Not the best thing to do. But I was determined to survive.

This is so very true. Even mental health professionals often miss or dismiss it
