Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents was an interesting read.  Anyone thinking there parents fit the title should give it a read..

This was a really helpful book with actionable tips for people who grew up with emotionally immature parents. It talked about the ways it affects you to grow up with emotionally immature parents and what skills you may be lacking as a result, I would recommend this book to people in this situation as it is moderately helpful. However, it's not a substitute for getting good therapy to resolve your issues. Read this and if it describes you, make your next call to a therapist.

Honest and in-depth advice for reaching your full potential.  This advice is presented in easy to follow language that can be broken up and applied in pieces at a time.

Thanks to netgalley for providing me with an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review
While I don't have any personal experience with this topic, I can see how a book like this is needed. I've witnessed parent/child relationships like this over the years and I want to buy a copy for all my friends for them to read and get this great advice.

This book truly opened my eyes to emotional childhood neglect and abuse and its consequences on all areas of life, from poor communication skills to self-doubts. This book takes a broader scope than related books on narcissistic parents, highlighting that emotional abuse has many facets.. The book contains descriptive parts as well as excercises and short stories from people having lived with emotionally immature parents (EIP), which makes it quite accessible and interactive.  The concept of EIP that is introduced by the author has validity as it does not restrict itself to narrower personality disorder definitions such as narcissism even though many of the insights would apply directly to a  narcissistic parent.

This wasn't necessarily relevant for me in terms of dealing with EI parents now but helped me to get a better understanding of how they thought. Also to better understand my reactions to them. Disassociating for example is still something i'm learning to not have as an immediate response for intense situations. This would be helpful for others dealing with EI parents now though.

"Recovering From Emotionally Immature Parents" offers practical advice for anyone in a relationship with an emotionally immature person. It's an important book for children, parents, friends, co-workers, spouses, and neighbors. In fact, I learned numerous tips that have helped me develop better boundaries with others in my life, and I am adapting tips that will help me build stronger relationships with the people in my life. 
I also saw myself in many of the descriptions of emotionally immature parents and now have a few tools that can help me change and do better. For anyone who's interested in emotional health and wants to become a better person, please read this valuable resource and utilize the advice.

This would be a very helpful guide for someone who has experienced this kind of abuse. I found it informative and shed light on destructive parent/child relationship models I hadn’t heard of before.

Have you ever come across a book you knew by strictly reading the title it screamed at you to READ!
This is one such book in which everything about it was like fitting the missing piece into the puzzle.
I knew personally for years that I married what I learned, knew, felt over the years. 
How one is treated in childhood has a direct correlation to what they expect, how they're perceived, how they are accepted into the world later into adulthood.
Having married a malignant narcissist of an 11 yr marriage made me question everything that came before -- you know those warning signs-- and how they were missed.
But more importantly why I felt less deserving than what was provided to me and why I settled for less. Was it low self worth? Was it low self esteem? Was it something more?
This book answers those questions and offers a hands on approach to rebuilding and recovery from that toxicity.
My parents were for intense purposes both narcissistic. They never showed love or affection. It was a military style dictatorship without response. You simply did as you were told.
Scapegoaters, golden children, family outcasts ...Yes! Ring any bells?!
If you're in the same situation fear not because you're life was most likely built on fears, scapegoating, smear campaigns, isolation, gaslighting, manipulation, and feelings of inadequacy long into adult hood.
So welcome aboard this devalue and destructive cycle train that makes many stops along the way. Discarding is no more as we learn how to retrain the mind to know our worth, value our beliefs, build stronger boundaries, and welcome healthy relationships.
For many years I was downcasts, told I never measured up, never was applauded for any accomplishments which led to feelings of seeking more. Seeking love, seeking attention, seeking acceptance, seeking validation even now nearly 50 years later.
YES 50 years and still trying to find that magic fit to my parents ways.
Rejected kids, leaving feeling lonely , and without connections . Parents who were self occupied and egotistical who were limited in empathy.
I'll never forget when my ex husband said, let them fall or strike that tree on their bike as they'll learn not to do it again. What?! Yes, this is mentioned in this book.
Conflict, mockery, lack of emotional intimacy leads to anxiety, distress, untrustworthiness.
"They treat children in such superficial, coercive, and judgemental ways, that they undermine their children's ability to trust their own thought and feelings, thereby restricting the development of their children's intuition, self guidance, efficacy, and autonomy."
You shut self down to not upset the parent.
These parents often ignore boundaries, feelings, individuality, opinions of their own children.
Adaptation is only permitted by the child to the adult's wishes as the child's needs are secondary.
Blame, shame, guilt, is the million dollar key to how this is all accomplished and those who've endured this over the years know it all too well.
Your thoughts should reflect theirs . No room for difference of opinion.
These parents are what we call "kill joys" as they ruin every special moment .
Sadist comes to mind as they take control and tease even joke upon someone else's misery and pain.
They want their children to feel powerless, dependent, desperate, and trapped.
There was one particular story that mentioned the almighty belt and if you squirmed you were beaten or sent to room and it brought back flooding memories.
Healthy people consider other people's circumstances. They don't expect you to drop everything and attend to them.
It's and was EXHAUSTING! That walk on eggshells , fight or flight, anxious moments always.
Falsifying information about you is just part of the power struggle. As they'll take credit for your work and may even talk nicely about you but never to you.
They may complain to you but never receptive to your ideas in assisting them with their own problems.
The famous 'get over it', it wasn't that bad, move on, gone with the wind and more are all part of the manual to manipulation.
Egocentric, authoritarian, dismissive, distant, and cold with terrible mood swings? Sounds familiar?
You've spent years trying to acquire back your power, your control, your right to feel how you feel and yet you may have still fallen short.
So this is ideal for that reason as it showcases what to do and what not to do to be authentically you and I loved every bit of it!
